  I have had my wordpress account for many years, but I would like to update it now with a new favicon. I cannot find where my old favicon file is or how to change it. All instructions tell me to update this using the site identity tab under customization, but there is no option to update my icon there. Is this only supported for certain themes?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,
  See the relevant support doc at https://en.support.wordpress.com/blavatars/

  The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.

  http://snowlily.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the underlying .wordpress.com blog go to Dashboard → Settings → General

  Thank you very much! It was actually an issue with my cache. Clearing the browser’s local cache finally updated my new blavatar.
