    Change Icon Directory
    WordPress can use media icons to represent attachment files on your blog and in the Admin interface, if those icons are available.
    For images, it returns the thumbnail. For other media types, it looks for image files named by media type (e.g., audio.jpg) in the directory wp-includes/images/crystal/.

    This example shows how you can change this directory to a folder called “images” in your theme: wp-content/themes/yourtheme/images. Create the folder and put “media type images” in there. To tell WordPress the directory has changed, put this in the current theme’s functions.php file:

    add_filter( 'icon_dir', 'wpdocs_theme_icon_directory' );
add_filter( 'icon_dir_uri', 'wpdocs_theme_icon_uri' );

/*
 * Return my desired icon directory
 */
function wpdocs_theme_icon_directory( $icon_dir ) {
	return get_stylesheet_directory() . '/images';
}

/*
 * Return my desired icon URI
 */
function wpdocs_theme_icon_uri( $icon_dir ) {
	return get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/images'; 
}
