Favicon Problems, IEy

I am reposting this because the last time I posted it, it didn’t seem to appear in the forum list… sorry if that problem is on my end.

Hi guys,

I’m having trouble getting a favicon to work on my WordPress 2.7 blog.

https://www.commentarius.org/

For IE7 (and assumedly other versions of Internet Explorer)
* favicon does not show up in tabs
* favicon does not show up next to url

It does appear in favorites, if used.

It works fine for Safari and Firefox.

The favicon is supposed to be generated from here:

https://wallaceforman.com/wordpress/wp-content/themes/delight-mod-upgrade/img/favicon.ico

I put the following line in header.php to generate the favicon:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/img/favicon.ico” />

And the following show up in the source file when I load the webpage:

<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”https://commentarius.org/wordpress/wp-content/themes/delight-mod-upgrade/img/favicon.ico&#8221; />

I do not believe that the favicon itself is not working, as when I go other pages of my webspace, the same favicon seems to work when automatically generated from the home directory.

e.g. https://wallaceforman.com/public/

Everything seems like it should work, but it doesn’t. I assume wordpress is doing something that IE7 doesn’t like that keeps it from displaying the favicon.

Any ideas what is keeping this from working in IE7? A fix would be much appreciated. Thank you!
