My favicon is not showing up in google search. But it displays 'W', the Wordpress favicon. Glitch?
Recently the site was cleaned from Chinese viruses. The main page was not indexed at all. After cleaning, everything was indexed well, the favicon was also shown in the search results as it should.
At one point, I noticed that on the site on all pages in the issuance of Google, all site icons were replaced with the Wordpress icon (White W on a blue background).
Changed formats png ico icons, nothing helps. The site icon is not included in the index.

The issue was resolved. Google indexed my favicon.
Installing a favicon using Wordpress, he did not correctly set the attributes for it,
for example, by adding a 48x48 icon, I received tags on the site with the following attributes:
<link rel="icon" href="https://site.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/favicon-1.ico" sizes="32x32">
<link rel="icon" href="https://site.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/favicon-1.ico" sizes="192x192">
type="image/x-icon"
which is also wrong. <link rel="icon" href="https://site.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://site.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Favicons are ok. It is possible that the page was indexed earlier with an old favicon. Wait a while or re-bypass
