Favicon file formats in Customizer
Hi Air and team,
I tried to upload a favicon in .svg and .ico format via Customizer > Site identity, but it seems that only .jpg and .png formats are allowed. Just confirming if in this case I will need to do the following:
1. Manually add the favicon to the root directory.
2. Copy header.php to Child theme folder.
3. Add the link rel code to header.php in the Child theme folder. Is there a specific line where I should be inserting the code?
Thank you in advance!

After a quick search, I believe that if you really need SVG or ICO format then yes, you will have to edit files. There is no best line :-D but just before line 28
</head>it should be good.However, maybe if you would add plugin that adds support for SVG format to WordPress, then you could use it as SVG - not tested by me :-)
