I'm almost done with my personal website. All that's left is my tab icon, but my knowledge of html is pretty limited. I've placed my favicon.ico code below in the head.html with the other link and meta code, but I'm not seeing any changes. Do I have the right idea? I'm not sure what to change from the wiki instructions.
(no spaces at ends)
< link rel="shortcut icon" href="/assets/images/favicon.ico" >
You can see what I have here at https://dietmocha.github.io/
That image doesn't seem to exist in your GitHub repo. Try <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/assets/img/favicon.ico">

For some reason, the favicon just isn't showing. The website is gracedli.com.
You can see the favicon at gracedli.com/favicon.ico and my code to add it is (currently only on index.html):
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" />
I've cleared the cache and used multiple different browsers, and for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Would love some help on it (everything's written in pure HTML/CSS so you can take a peek at the full code at the link). Thank you so much!
You have put the contents of <head> in <header> instead. Move them into , and that would possibly solve your problem.
Common reasons your Favicon is not showing
Check file path : You need to ensure that your favicon’s file path is correct.
The link of favicon is not at the right location : It is important to place the link to add your favicon in the head section of your webpage.
Syntax errors : A minor syntax error in the link of favicons could result in your favicon not showing.
When favicon file in the root directory, but not linked : Always put the favicon in the root directory, and name it favicon.ico. Almost all modern browsers look up /favicon.ico by default but make sure that you have these links in your head section:
link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
link rel=" bookmark" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Because in many cases Just because the favicon file is in your root directory, it does not mean that it will automatically recognize.
Your browser has cached your site as one without a favicon : May be your browser has ‘saved’ your site as one without a favicon. You need to clear the cache in your browser or use a different browser.
May it helped to solve the issue…
Huge shout out to Timmy Chan (in the comments of the question) for noticing this, but I put my tags in <header> instead of <head>. Once I moved them, it worked!
So i'm making a website using github but the favicon isn't showing. I'm pretty sure im using the right code. <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico"> Can any of you help? Give me the right code? I am using bootstrap but i don't think it should change how to add the favicon.
You might take alook at Adding a favicon to a static HTML page
Also this might be helpful Favicon with GitHub Pages
If everything is set correctly as you described, you might also try to ctrl/cmd + shift + r to empty cache.
I am trying to add a favicon.ico in my title but it is not working. The image and the HTML file are in the same folder but it still can't show me the favicon icon.
<title><link href="\Users\fjoni_000\Desktop\Stuff\Projects\Programming\favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">Best Of Internet | Front page</title>
This is the code that I am using. I tried with the Google logo and still it didn't show. This is the code from Google source code:
<link href="/images/branding/product/ico/googleg_lodp.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
If there is any question similar to mine and has the answer that I'm looking for then please comment it. Also the website is locally hosted NOT online
The <link> should not be within the <title>... it should be outside of the <title> but still within the <head>...
<head>
<title>Best Of Internet | Front page</title>
<link href="\Users\fjoni_000\Desktop\Stuff\Projects\Programming\favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon">

Although I think the main issue you have is it looks like a local system path, not a URL as understood by your browser. And you're also missing the type attribute
Without knowing the setup of your website server... I would take a complete guess that you want something like...
<link href="/Programming/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
Just as an additional point, if you're able to... simply placing the favicon.ico file in the root of your domain is enough for the majority of browsers to pick up. Then you don't need the <link> at all
You could try to clear your browser cache and try again.
Do you have a live URL?
you adding Favicon inside the title tag which is wrong and make sure the icon exist in path. try this
<title>your title</title>
<link href="/images/branding/product/ico/googleg_lodp.ico" rel="shortcut icon">
I'm creating an HTML web page.
I'm nowhere near finish and therefore should not focus too much on the following matter at the moment.
But I'm confused about why my code for the Shortcut icon is not working.
I'm testing everything by placing all files in the same folder (offline, no servers or anything similar)
The code is
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
I tried with different ico files and it will only work with an ico uploaded to a website.
For example the following code will work.
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="\WEBSITEFOLDER\favicon.ico">
Try:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="~/favicon.ico">
or:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="favicon.ico">
I ran into this similar problem, and it turned out that the size of the actual file was what caused the issue. According to sources it has to be either 16x16 or 32x32. I would use an icon generator like: x-iconeditor.com.
If you want a favicon on local file, you will have to use Data URI
See this answer : local (file://) website favicon works in Firefox, not in Chrome or Safari- why?
set favicon icon size 16x16 it will work in chrome...
I HAD the same problem. The site I "borrowed" from used a folder called "icons" for the location of the .ico file so I followed that exactly. The service my girlfriend used was Web.com. For whatever reason with Web.com if a shortcut icon in located anywhere other than the root directory, it will not show up in Internet Explorer. I simply moved the favicon file into the same place index.html was and changed that one line of code in the index to reflect that.
Solved (in my case anyway)! Good luck!
<link rel="icon" href="relative_PATH/favicon.ico">
Try to put the all relative path to the icons file
It doesn't work, absolutely because the link target is not correct.
If you put the icon in the same folder of your web page, then correct the link to the following:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="./favicon.ico">
which means favicon.ico is in the current folder.
However you can use the debugger i.e. chrome debugger and navigate to
the source code of your web page, i.e. right click on the link of your icon ->
open in new tab, and see how it works
Try to add the absolute route for the image icon and Use 48x48 px image size.
That worked for me
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="http://yoursite.com/Content/Images/favicon.png" />
See the small logo/icon in the tab when you open any website in any browser?:
How can I put such logo/icon on my wordpress blog?
This is called a favicon. You link to it in the head section of your HTML.
You can read more about it here: http://www.w3.org/2005/10/howto-favicon
And view a list of Wordpress plugins that do the work for you here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/favicon
Two ways,
the first is use this plugin
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shockingly-simple-favicon/
Or, if you really want to learn how it works. Open your theme folder (normally under wp-content -> themes -> your theme name) and then normally in the header.php file there is everythign that happens in the head of your pages.
Any where in the <head></head> place the following code...
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/favicon.ico">
Where /favicon, is the link to your favicon.ico.
To easily make a favicon, use the following link.

Hope this helps you learn how to do it and what the actual plugin does for you :)

You just need to put the image into a file named favicon.ico in your website's root directory (like www.stackoverflow.com/favicon.ico). Browsers request this file when a user visits your site and will show it in the tab or bookmarks. You can find more info on wikipedia or even use http://www.favicon.cc/ to help you design the icon.
There are two ways.
In your template header.php file, you have to add the favicon code: <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
or, you just put the favicon.ico into your www root. Apache has a configuration setting which will load this as default.
