I've visited these questions and none of the answers worked for me:
Why doesn't my fav icon work in Chrome any more?
Chrome doesn't show the favicon
My Code
My website is http://mikeyaworski.com and this is the code I use to set my icon:
<head>
<title>mikeyaworski</title>
<link
rel="shortcut icon"
href="http://mikeyaworski.com/myicon.ico"
type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon"
>
</head>
This is my entire code.
What I've Tried
Instead of rel="shortcut icon"I've tried rel="icon"
Instead of type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" I've tried type="image/x-icon"
Instead of href="http://mikeyaworski.com/myicon.ico" I've tried href="myicon.ico"
The icon works in Mozilla and Internet Explorer. The icon does not work in Google Chrome. Any ideas?
Your html is invalid and your browser tries to fix it. In doing so your link tag ends up outside the head and is ignored, fix your html and it will work
<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
<title>mikeyaworski</title>
<link rel="icon" href="myicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">
</head>
<body> <!-- body tag should be here -->
<h1 style="text-align:center;font-family:trebuchet ms;" id="top"><br><br>Hompage</h1>

<!-- <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> -->
Try using the following code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Or Else have a go at the link below with similar discussion:

Update:
Or else give a following link a try:

I am trying to add icon to html page.
Following is the code,
<link rel="icon" href="../../images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
Here I am trying to get favicon.ico from specific path.
This works on chrome but not on IE.
IE 11 version
Did you try this method:
<link rel="icon" href="url/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="url/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="ICON" type="image/x-icon" href="http://example.com/myicon.ico"/>
Try any of these and check whether It worked for you.
Check this out:
How do I force a favicon refresh
Basically, IE11 is fierce about caching the favicon. Adding a cache buster in the URL might fix it. Something like ../../images/favicon.ico?v=1.
Another user also suggested removing type="image/x-icon".
I want to make a favicon for my web page. I found a sample but it's not working for me. Can someone please help me get it to work. On the index page of the web site I put this in the of the page.
<!--
<![if !IE>
<link rel="icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<![endif]>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
!-->
Can I put this on specific pages that I want to display the favicon or does it have to be somewhere at the root of the site?
If you can think of any solution I would really appreciate it. Thanks for any help!
Try this, your comment end was in the wrong place
<!--
<![if !IE>
<link rel="icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<![endif]>
!-->
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mywebsiteurl/images/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
Assuming you are using IE conditional comments for a reason, it looks like your comment syntax is off. You can read more about them here.
Otherwise, the conditional comments aren't specifically needed for a favicon; your first tag looks good to me.
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
Yes, you can use unique favicons for individual pages, but browsers go cache crazy and will usually show the most recent icon for that domain unless otherwise instructed. For example: if you set an icon on your home page, but then didn't set one on a subpage, it would likely keep the home page's icon.
I have a html site.The issue is favicon not working in chrome but it worked well in Firefox & Safari.
Anyone can help me to get rid of this issue?
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="images/ico"
href="http://www.example.com/images/favicon.ico" />
I was having exactly the same problem. Then I tried refreshing the page by doing Ctrl + Shift+ R. It worked!
Have a look at this question: Favicon not showing up in Google Chrome
1) Clear your cache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?
2) How you should add it:
Normal favicon:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
PNG/GIF favicon:
<link rel="icon" type="image/gif" href="favicon.gif" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png" />
3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).

<link rel = "shortcut icon" href = "test_image.ico" type = "image/x-icon" />
Also, if your icon is too small, double the size. That worked for me when I had this issue.
i have a network based on php and html. Now i have the issue, that the favicon doesn't show up in google-chrome. If i use firefox all works well. Any advices?
My Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />
Website: http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/
Thanks!
I just checked out your website and noticed you have <link> placed in the <body> tag.
It should be within the <head> of the document instead. In doing so, it will work.
Try this:
<link rel="icon" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />
It worked for my icon :)
Try clearing your cache. Then add this:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://teabag.webclient2.de/minis/images/favicon.png" />
I have the html:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico">
on my website Muse Me (http://www.musememobile.com)
The favicon won't show up if I open it with Chrome. It shows up in other Browsers.
The favicon showed up before in Chrome but then I changed it.
What should I do to make it show up in Chrome?
Add the ICO file to the root directory as 'favicon.ico'.
Some browsers disregard the favicon metatag, and just look for /favicon.ico.
Chrome does not support animated favicons, and it doesn't look like anyone is interested in implementing it.

What about if you declare a "type" for your link? Also, you can try a rel of simply "icon" in addition.
Try this:
<link rel="icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
You could also try appending the domain to the image src as well:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.musememobile.com/images/favicon_muse_me.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
UPDATE
You could also try using a png for your favicon (obviously will need to have a png version to do this). This is the approach I take with my own site and it looks fine in Chrome:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/images/favicon_muse_me.png" />
Make sure it's in <head> tag. It's kind of...'meta' info for the page.
<head>
<link href="//domain.com/favicon.png" rel="icon" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
I tried other options but this worked in Chrome for me
What I have been using is the URI, witch you can find out at https://websemantics.uk/tools/image-to-data-uri-converter and just put it in the atrabute href.
For example this is a valid URI a favicon
