Favicons?

bitcoing · Apr 7, 2014

I did a search on this forum on how to create a favicon for my site, I found a post saying:

Place favicon.ico in the website root.
For your main domain, that would be in public_html
If you have an add on domain, put the icon in its home directory.

So I placed BitcoinFavicon.ico in my root directly, however it doesn't seem to be working.

What do I do to make it work?

Think I know what I may have done wrong.. Renaming it to favicon.ico as said in his little guide..

Okay it still doesn't work, really have no idea what to do now

Make sure that it's all lowercase and spelled correctly: favicon.ico

Link the favicon:

Code:

<head>
<link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico">
</head>

Clear your browser's cache and hit 'refresh'.

It can take a while for favicons to update, since they're cached for a LONG time by your browser. You might have luck clearing your cache.

Tried the guide at http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Favicon and still cannot get it to work

Trying that linking method you described - where do I type that?

The code goes inside your

Code:

<head> </head>

tag in the .HTML or .PHP file (for example, index.php).

Got a domain name we can check? The main domain of the Free Hosting account linked to this Forum Account just has an empty Index of / page.
