## Descriere

**Dev Favicon Switcher** helps you easily distinguish between your production and
development environments. It automatically displays a different favicon based on
the current URL, avoiding mistakes where you might accidentally edit the live site
thinking it’s the development environment.

**Key Features:**

 * **Automatic Environment Detection**: Automatically applies the development favicon
   on common local domains (`.local`, `.test`, `.dev`).
 * **Custom Development URLs**: Specify exact URLs where the development favicon
   should appear (supports multiple URLs).
 * **Easy Icon Management**: Upload your own dev favicon using the WordPress media
   uploader, complete with built-in image cropping.
 * **Restore Default Icon**: Don’t have an icon handy? Easily apply our unified 
   default development favicon with a single click.
 * **Automatic Size Generation**: Automatically generates all standard WordPress
   site icon sizes (32×32, 180×180, 192×192, 270×270) to ensure compatibility across
   all devices and browsers.
 * **Admin Bar Styling**: Customize the admin bar’s background and text colors to
   clearly identify your development environment at a glance, with a live preview
   and easy reset options.
 * **No Frontend Bloat**: Everything works efficiently via standard WordPress filters
   without adding unnecessary frontend scripts.

Perfect for developers working with local environments, staging servers, and migration
tools like All-in-One WP Migration.

## Instalare

 3. Configure the plugin by going to **Settings > Dev Favicon**.

## Întrebări frecvente

### Does this modify my actual production site?

No. The plugin only overrides the favicon URL dynamically when it detects that you
are accessing the site via one of your configured development URLs (or auto-detected
extensions). Your live site will continue to load its normal configured site icon.

### How does the auto-detect feature work?

If enabled, the plugin checks your current domain. If it ends with `.local`, `.test`,
or `.dev`, it automatically considers the environment a development one and switches
the favicon.

### What if I don’t have a specific development favicon to upload?

You can simply click the „Restore Default” button in the settings, and the plugin
will apply a built-in default development favicon for you.

### Does it support image cropping?

Yes! When you upload or select a new development favicon from the media library,
the plugin provides a cropping tool just like the native WordPress Site Icon feature.
