Hi there,

Just to clarify, adding a favicon to your site is (1) not something the theme is required to do and (2) is not part of standard support services I provide.

This FAQ thread is meant as a general how-to and not meant as a way to explain how to use a supported feature of the theme.

If you need additional help customizing your favicon, you'll need to utilize the services of a developer.

Best,

Chris

Hello,

To be honest I haven't done many changes in the theme. I have bought the wordpress university theme. Where should I contact you?

Hi there,

I can confirm this is the correct process required, so the issue likely involves either the creation or location of the image you're trying to use.

Unfortunately this topic goes beyond the standard support services I provide here in the forums. This thread really only exists as an added bonus for users looking to take control of the favicon, which is not something theme related.

Best,

Chris

</head> is the closing tag, so anything after it will be OUTSIDE the head tag. Should look like this...

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.kazansmu.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
</head>

Best,

Chris

Thanks for the reply, Chris. Please check, whether it is correct? This is what it looks like:

</head>
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.kazansmu.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

@drswapnilparve

You added the code outside the head tag. As mentioned in step #4 above, you need to add it INSIDE the head tag.

Best,

Chris

Hey There,

Yup, I'm seeing the favicon now... sometimes it takes a little bit of time to show up, but I do see it now.

Nice job!

Hello, I followed the instructions for the favicon but didn't have any luck. I know the favicon is in the right place because it works when I visit http://www.geyrhalterwinegroup.com/favicon.ico.

Does it take awhile for it to appear as a favicon or should it work immediately?

Here is the line of code I added to my php:
<link rel="icon" href="http://www.geyrhalterwinegroup.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

  1. Create an image that is 16 pixels by 16 pixels.
  2. Save the image as "favicon.ico" (Photoshop requires this plugin to save images as ICO files).
  3. Upload the file to your root directory.
  4. In the header.php file of your WordPress theme, add the following in the <head> section:
    <link rel="icon" href="http://www.YOURDOMAIN.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    NOTE: Some themes already have the necessary code in the header.php

  5. That's it :-)
