[Resolved] Favicon Issues on Local Development

[Jon]

I’m running into issues with the Favicon.

I can upload the favicon.ico file in Appearance -> Customize -> Site Identity just fine, but when I select the uploaded image to use as the Favicon the selection just hangs. My favicon is a 512×512, the file is an .ico file renamed from a .png file.

When I selected the same file to use as an embedded image on a regular post file (as a test to see if it was an issue with the file or media selection), it worked just fine.

I said the hell with it and just copied the .ico file to my document root. After all, it is just a favicon. Even then the favicon would not display in the browser tabs on FF, Chrome, or Edge. Oddly enough, the Favicon would appear on IE (ew!) I found a Stack Exchange post that had the same result but also got it to display when using Safari.

Problem fixed.

DirectoryIndex directive in Apache configuration file needed to be uncommented.

FYI.
