I just happened to peruse this thread but this last exchange prompted me to comment…

I use a car, but I’m not a mechanic.
I use a computer, but I’m not a troubleshooter.
I use a TV, but I’m not an engineer.

Because I use WordPress does not mean I can be, or want to be, a software engineer. There’s not enough time in the world for me to become expert enough to fix every product I use.

I appreciate those who code. I appreciate those who contribute. I really appreciate those who help non-coders like me. But Open Source is for those who choose to open it. Like the hoods on cars, there are those of us who, when needed, let those who specialize in such things do what they do, handily.

If you came to me to produce a TV show for PBS, I would not look down at you because you couldn’t produce it yourself and meet PBS’ engineering, timing, and delivery specifications. That’s not your job. It’s mine. So don’t look down at those who don’t get involved in helping code open source software.

Thanks.

Thanks otto. I’ll check on a couple other machines here as well. I tried dumping my cache but still not seeing it- except when I’m in the dashboard.

I did use an external converter to make it.
Ad it works when I’m in the dashboard. (weird)
Doesn’t work when I browse.

1) is Header.php the place to put the favicon calls.
2) did I change them correctly to point at my icon?
2) is htdocs the folder to put the favicon?

I called my hosting service and they said that the root level of the blog is not where to put it (I had tried that first and it wasn’t working). They said to put it in the htdocs folder, which is visible at the root level, so the ico is one level down.

I’ve tried to put it in my blog. Put it at the top level, nothing. I put it in htdocs, nothing. I added the text to embed the favicon:

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

Nothing.

Well, actually, the favicon appears when I’m in the dashboard.
But when browsing? Nothing.

Help?
