TCH-Don Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Welcome to the forums the favicon.ico goes in your public_html folder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellaminnowpea Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Thanks for the quick reply! Don't I put it in some index file also? That is the part I can't figure out and it is not showing up anywhere...it is in my public html file already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 No, just put it in the public_html folder. Some browsers don't always display it. You can check with Firefox and you should see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCH-Don Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 It should not be needed, but if you want, try adding this to your index file. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agsilva Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi everyone! I am setting up Wordpress at a blog.pugmania.com subdomain on our site. I have the favicon in the right place for it to work with the main www page (/public_html), but it doesn't show up on the blog.pugmania.com Wordpress page. I have added a copy of favicon to the blog subdomain directory (/public_html/blog) but no luck. Do I need to add the favicon html code to my page templates, modify my style sheets, or something? Everything else is going great so far using the TCH tutorials. -Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi Alex I marked the blog as a favorite in IE and a bookmark in FireFox and I see the favicon in both when I go back to the favorite or bookmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I can see the favicon too but when I go to blog.pugmania.com I get to a (sort of) error page saying Not Found Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't think they have any posts entered. I too see the favicon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeJ Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yea, the not found message is standard for when no posts are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadendsally Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Thanks Mike, that answer helps me also, I kept seeing my favicon.ico showing up in the error report, thought maybe I had to use an absolute url. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestl2 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I'm also having favicon issues with my wordpress site. I put the file in my public_html folder, but it still doesn't show in either IE or FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It it´s the blog I see when I click on the link in your signature, the favicon shows up fine for me. Have you tried to clear your cache? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestl2 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 (edited) Yes I have tried clearing my cache, which didn't seem to make a difference. But if you can see it, that means the issue must lie somewhere with my computer, does anyone else have problems seeing it? Or is it just mine?

TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Just to make sure so you don´t mean that you have another favicon that is not showing up. Is it the attached favicon screenshot you mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestl2 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Yeah, that's the favicon i'm trying to view. But on my computer, it still shows the IE's logo in it's place. It must have something to do with my computer's settings. If everyone else can see it though, then it's probably not a big deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If you have your site bookmarked, you could try to delete the bookmark and re add it and see if that helps. I have heard that favicons can show wrong etc if the site is bookmarked with the wrong favicon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamestl2 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Thanks for the bookmarking tip, but still didn't show up on my computer. It doesn't make sense, because all other sites' favicons show up in tabs, bookmarks, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTD Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I can see both sites favicons with no problems myself. Using Firefox Pugtracks I can see In IE also But I cannot see the favicon for toptenlisted using IE. You might want to try putting the favicon code into your main page's code.
