Favicon not showing..??

Is it named favicon.ico?

Clear your browser cache.

Hi songdogtech, yep, did both those things and it still isn’t showing! I can’t see what it could be…

URL?

As in my webpage? It’s https://www.lauranuttall.co.uk

This link is incorrect.
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="file:///Users/admin/Downloads/favicon.ico" />

Thanks Kmessinger….could you explain? This side of the website is like voodoo to me!

the term ‘file:///’ points to your PC.

It should be
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="https://www.lauranuttall.co.uk/favicon.ico" />

OR you can just remove that all together. If you have favicon.ico in your root folder, you don’t need to make an explicit call. WordPress knows.

The link should be to a url like href="www.lauranuttall.co.uk/favicon.ico" which points to this, https://www.lauranuttall.co.uk/favicon.ico which is your favicon.

The file in the header is coming from somewhere. Did you add it to the header.php file? Maybe your theme has somewhere to input the favico.ico? Or an SEO plugin?

Thanks! You really need to start from the most basic of beginnings here..I have no clue where to even find these things :/

I haved added any code or anything as far as I’m aware…I tried a favicon plugin but have disabled it, maybe that is conflicting somehow?

Where do I go to find the link above? As in where should I add or remove it? Sorry to sound stupid, it’s just I have no training or knowledge in these things…so all help is most gratefully received!

Who built your site or did you use a wizard with the headway-2010 theme?

Most likely your theme options which probably showup in the dashboard has a place to enter the favicon and this is where the info was incorrectly added. Or the plugin you used. Maybe you should try that again and see if it corrects the problem.

The entry is probably in your header.php file but I hesitate to tell you to add or delete anything to that file.

I’m using Headway, and you’re right I did find it lurking there in the dashboard. So I’ve deleted it and the plugin but still no joy.

I checked the header.php file via the WordPress dashboard but there is nothing there relating to favicons…?

Frustrating…

Oh! Hang, it’s working in Chrome! But not Firefox. Hmmmm.

Well, thank you for your help! I guess I have to hope the people that come to my site do so through Chrome.

Have a great day,

Works in Safari and FireFox (and Chrome) for me… Try flushing your browser cache in FF.
