I've got a problem with my website; the favicon won't show no matter what I try.

My home page is

http://www.emilienpetit.com/Index2.html

and the favicon is located at

http://www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico

The current code is

link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico"/

but I tried with rel="icon" only and with type="image/jpg" "image/x-con" "image/ico" etc.

Can you please tell me what else I could try for it?

Regards,

  • Your issue is that you don't have a favicon uploaded to http://www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico. When I go to that URL, I get a web page with not much on it (possibly it's a 404 page?) – Hayden Schiff Aug 12 '15 at 18:51

    favicons are aggressively cached. Try adding a query string parameter in your HTML. As seen in this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208933/how-do-i-force-a-favicon-refresh – Andrew Martinez Aug 12 '15 at 18:53

Your href is a little off. Currently:

href="www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico"

will attempt to hit the url:

http://www.emilienpetit.com/www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico

So you'll either have to add the http:// or use a relative link.

href="http://www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico"

or:

href="/favicon.ico"

Edit

I noticed that it looks like all of your links are facing the same problem. I would suggest either keeping all the links relative to your root or, if you're using server-side processing, setting up a 'base url' so that you don't have to redefine the url each time.

I would recommend replacing www.emilienpetit.com/ with just / because currently the webpage is saying the favicon is in http://www.emilienpetit.com/www.emilienpetit.com/favicon.ico. Putting /favicon.ico will lead the browser to the favicon.
