Problems with my favicon
 

Now before you just start posting the 20 links to all the other favicon threads please read this.

I have a favicon on my main Joomla site and it works great, however for my vBA and forums I cannot get the favicon to show at all.

I think I've added this (both separately and combined) to pretty much ever template I think it might be relevant (Header, headerinclude, etc etc)

I have also tried entering in the exact address to no avail.

I've also tried 3 separate browsers and several computers, cleared cache etc and it STILL wont show.

I've also uploaded the frickin ico to like every folder on my site to try to get it working.

It just shows a blank icon and I cannot figure out how the hell to get it working.

www.err32.com (icon I'm using in action)

www.err32.com/forums (blank, not working)

Look at the source, this is what is displayed for the favicon.

On the page that is working, you have this:
On the page that doesn't work, you have this:
Have you tried putting the code that works into the non-working page? Also, you may have to clear your cache after changing the code to see if it's working.

The odd this is that the icon works in the admin portion of vB but not on the actual forums etc, and as I already stated I cleared the cache like 20 times and on several computers.

And I dont know why it didnt display the proper source but all of the coding was indeed correct within the templates:

I tried changing it to:

I do not understand whats going on

Right now (you've changed it since I last looked), this is what your source code says for the second, non working link:
and that will definitely not work (as you can see).

Just as an FYI, I have a favicon.ico located in both my root (public_html) and my forums (public_html/forums) and I have no html link to them in my source and they show up just fine since they are named the default name of "favicon.ico". So, you may want to just take out the link and see what happens.

What your seeing is NOT what I have in my code, it does in fact have a proper link to the favicon.

By your suggestion I removed all coding to the favicon in all the templates and now I got it working.

Wish someone would have just said I needed to drop in the ico into certain folders and nothing more need be done lol, woulkd have saved me a lot of time.

Thanks

The error is always between the keyboard and the chair.

Thanks for starting this thread and saving me time.

I had the same problem... worked fine with vB 3.5.4 with the code in the headinclude template, but with 3.6.5, it had to be removed to see the favicon. It must be backwards day!
