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.
