FAVICON ERROR
5 replies · Started by Ernesto on March 8, 2021
Hi,
I have a favicon trouble, it doesn't appear in browsers in the public page, in my backend wordpress page it appears propertly. I've seen your other posts, and i've tried everything, and I can explain it.
In my source code appears:
<link rel="icon" href="FILE" sizes="32x32" />
I've checked everything, please can you help me?
Best regards
Hi David,
That's not the favicon, the medal is an ASCII code in the Metatitle. The favicon is an orange "Z".
Regards
Sorry wrong screenshot:

Chrome is disliking it - which can be for several reasons - it may just be a caching issue - and may take some time to update.
Or it is the file format / sizing that it doesn't like.
Sometimes you have to create a .ico file:

And install this is the Root of your web sites directory.
Thank you David, I've just solved placing a favicon.ico in the root.
The trouble appeared months ago, and there was an "enzima.ico" in the root, and the problem was not only in Chrome, in Opera I couldn´t see neither.
I have many Generatepress webs and it was/is the only one with this trouble.
Thanks again and regards!!
Yeah - favicons can be a bit of a pain - glad the root method worked!
