FavIcon not working

  • Hey there.

    After trying numerous times and waiting days for it to kick in, I still can’t get my FavIcon to show up on all pages. It shows up just fine in the backend, but doesn’t work in the frontend – the standard WordPress icon is shown instead.

    I have added the following to my themes header.php:

    <link rel=”icon” href=”https://mysiteurl.com/favicon.ico&#8221; type=”image/x-icon” />
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”https://mysiteurl.com/favicon.ico&#8221; type=”image/x-icon” />

    Mysiteurl.com is obviously replaced by the actual siteurl.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

  • I’ve known it be really hard to get a browser to recognise that favicon.ico has changed. The browser insists on using the favicon its already downloaded.
    – try clearing your browser cache
    – try a different browser or computer that you don’t normally use
    – try a parameter after the icon:
    eg: https://mysiteurl.com/favicon.ico?x=1
    the parameter makes the browser think its different so it reloads the image.
    – please post the url to your site
