Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
Please ensure that you have correctly added the favicon to your website.
The icon should be added as a favicon.ico file and then you must have something like this in the <head> section of your header.php.
<link rel=“shortcut icon” href=“https://example.com/favicon.ico” />
If your theme provides an option to add a favicon, please contact them to see if the favicon is correctly being added per Google’s standards.
Please also note that after you have done updating your favicon it takes some time for Google to re-crawl your website.
Here is the information from Google:

I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.
But, I am using WordPress, and it doesn’t support favicon.ico file. Then, How do I add my favicon?
Hello,
Your theme provider should support implementing a favicon. You can check that out in your theme customizer. If you can’t find it, please ask your theme author as they are in the best position to apply favicon to your front page.
Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

I am using Site Kit in my Website. I am viewing the view-source:https://divyatechgyan.com/ page of my website and I saw this line of code-
<link rel="icon" href="data:,">
I think because of this line of code, Google doesn’t show my favicon in search results.
How can I edit this line code on WordPress.
I think I have to reset site kit WordPress plugin.
My Problem is now solved! The problem is not in Site Kit.
I enabled performance setting in Rishi Theme and I saw that there is an option “Prevent Automatic Favicon Request” that is by default enabled. I disabled that and now the code <link rel="icon" href="data:,"> is also not in my theme now.
