    Posted 16 years 4 months ago
    • Hi,

      I have added the edited favicon.ico to the /image folder on the site added the line <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/images/favicon.ico" /> just before the </head> in my idex.php file and ther favicon is not showing. Any idea of were I'm going wrong?

      My url is www.farnprint.com

      Thanks in advance!

    • It's showing up here.

      Have you cleared your cache?

    • The proper way to deal with favicons...

      Place the favicon.ico in the Joomla root directory and add these lines to rt_head_includes.php (or index.php if you use an old template):

      <link href="/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
      <link rel="shortcut icon" href=" yoursite.com/favicon.ico " type="image/x-icon" />

      If you have favicons located elsewhere, delete them.

      Still doesn't show up? Clear cache and delete all temporary files and do a refresh in your browser.

      If this doesn't work in IE then please check that the favicon is a valid Windows icon.

    • I tried doing that , getting the favicon.ico in the root directory editing the index.php (in the root directory of joomla) and adding your lines in it (changing the yoursite.com to my domain gamersautospy.com) to no avail, thoughts?
