Hello,

my favicon does not work.
First I uploaded a finished favicon.ico file to the root public_html folder. As it did not appear, I tried to upload a jpg-file and rename it to .ico as mentioned in the tutorial. Did not work again.
Just to make sure, I uploaded the favicon.ico also to the very root directory, but it does not appear.

The link I am using in my html-file looks like this: an I added type="image/x-icon" / inside the tag when I used the .jpg-file.

What did I do wrong? What (root) folder does the .ico-file have to be stored in? Any comments on the tag?

Thanks in advance!

Hi suncoaster77,

Thanks for posting your question. I'm more than happy to assist you. I've looked over your website and it appears the favicon loads as expected. It appears a green square with a leaf cut out of the center. Are you still having issues with your favicon? If so, what website/ folder are you working in?

Also, try clearing your web browser cache and see if that corrects the issue.

If you need further assistance please feel free to contact us.

Thanks!
