Hi,

I've dropped my favicon in the root folder of the website but it doesn't show up. Any idea why?

The URL of my site is: http://www.iAmericana.com

Thanks.

Try using a PNG instead, as this is a more modern approach. It should be located here:
http://www.iamericana.com/favicon.png

Seems you already have http://www.iamericana.com/favicon.ico ...

Hi,

Recently I've noticed my favicon no longer appears if my site is viewed in firefox or chrome. It does appear in explorer.

Is the fix as simple as suggested above, to put in a favicon that's a png? Or could it be something else?

Thanks

If you have a favicon.ico in your gallery root, then it would not fix anything by simply adding it as PNG instead ... I don't know why your favicon is not displaying, but I can take a look if you can provide a link. it could also be something in your browser history.

Hi,

Hm...it gets stranger. I have checked the site muliple times (from different computers) and the favicon does not appear in firefox. But it does appear on the site blog in firefox, which is on the same volume and host.

Site is www.robertrafton.com

And thanks for the superquick response!!

The favicon works fine in the root of your website, since you are not referencing to anything special and it finds this:
http://www.robertrafton.com/favicon.ico

However, for the gallery section of your website, you seem to have deleted the default favicon.png graphic from Imagevue, without replacing it. Your gallery is therefore looking for a file that does not exist:
http://www.robertrafton.com/gallery/favicon.png

Either upload your favicon as png in the same location as above, or you need to edit iv-includes/templates/default/index.gallery.phtml, and change the following on line 18: to: After you do this, it will still take some time before you can see changes in your browser, because old stuff caches in your browser history.

Hi,

I did delete the favicon from the gallery as you surmise but replaced it with a favicon.ico. This did work until very recently. I just replaced with a png. If down the line this doesn't work I will report back.

As always, thanks for all the great (and quick!) assistance. Much appreciated.
