How to change favicon

/images/favicon.ico

The simplest way is to rename your own icon to "favicon.ico" and upload it to your images folder.

If you don't want to do that, open themes/templates/header.php

Find...


and change favicon to the name of your icon. You may need to clear your cookies to view it.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I followed your instructions with my own icon (http://vivacechoral.com/images/icon.ico) - I renamed it to see if anything would work. I made the following changes to my template header.php:



But still, the bluehost icon persists as my favicon. Can you provide further help?

[syntaxhighlighter brush=php,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false]if (file_exists(IMAGES."icon.ico") { echo "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='".IMAGES."icon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />\n"; }[/syntaxhighlighter]

Try that, and clear you cache.

Buh... good catch. That worked. Thank you!

[syntaxhighlighter brush=php,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false]if (file_exists(IMAGES."favicon.ico") { echo "<link rel='shortcut icon' href='".IMAGES."favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />\n"; }
[/syntaxhighlighter]

That code does not appear to work in IE9
This does.
[syntaxhighlighter brush=php,first-line=1,highlight=0,collapse=false,html-script=false]<link rel='shortcut icon' href='images/favicon.ico' type='image/x-icon' />[/syntaxhighlighter]
I realise the original poster wanted something else and have a solution, but I dont get why IE9 wont display the first code snippet. Too complex?

... and dont even dare telling me off about browsers and their compatibility or lack thereof.

Well both should work no matter what they are both same codes just the firs on looks to make sure the favicon.ico exists in the images directory that's all.

Maybe better to use ?

Humm..is tere not a dot missing here:

... file_exists(.IMAGES."ico ...

between ( and I

Naa, that would mean three dev guys posted the wrong code one after another. I cant get that lucky :P

Failing all that try...



Should make no difference but everything is worth a try and this is coming from me who is NOT a DEV guy. ;)

Compared to me you are a Dev guy. Hey even Borat is a Dev guy.

Ridiculous you can code just fine, you choose not to that is fine, anyway how do you even think about Borat?

Thinking of you, perhaps...? :D

:P It's niiiiiiice but I don't come from kazikstan.
