 * When moving the WordPress installation using Duplicator (or any other plugin)
   these plugins replace the path to the installation with a new path.
 * For Example:
    Old Path: [http://abc.old-domain.com/mywordpress/](http://abc.old-domain.com/mywordpress/)
   New Path: [https://new-domain.com/](https://new-domain.com/)
 * These paths are stored in
    `SELECT option_value FROM 'wp_options' WHERE option_name
   = 'siteurl'`
 * When I transfer the installation, the Favicon checker says:
 * > Cannot find [https://new-domain.com/mywordpress/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png](https://new-domain.com/mywordpress/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png)
 * The correct URL should be [https://new-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png](https://new-domain.com/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png)
 * Unfortunately Favicon by RealFaviconGenerator stores parts of the path in
    `SELECT*
   FROM 'wp_options' WHERE option_name = 'fbrfg_html_code'`
 * There it says for example:
    <link rel=”apple-touch-icon” sizes=”180×180″ href
   =”/mywordpress/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-touch-icon.png”>
 * It would be great if the plugin only stores “/wp-content/uploads/fbrfg/apple-
   touch-icon.png” as href and reads the rest from option_name = ‘siteurl’ so that
   there are no problems when moving installations that are in a folder aboth the
   domain.
 * Otherwise it would be great if the whole path is stored in option_name = ‘fbrfg_html_code’
   so that Duplicator can replace it during DB migration.
