I've got a favicon.ico uploaded at the root of http://www.peter-ould.net, but it's not showing for me inside Firefox. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

you appear to have added this code
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.peter-ould.net" />
try
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />

Posted 2 years ago #In order to have your favicon.ico work, you should put the following in the head section (between <head> and </head>) of your document. If wordpress is the root website (ie wat people see when they type in exmaple.com), you should put it in the header.php of the template you're using (under edit templates in the wp-admin).
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon">Edit: Oops, someone beet me to it O.o

Posted 2 years ago #4k,
I put in the text you mentioned to test and then changed it to <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.peter-ould.net/favicon.ico" />. However, having done this I'm still getting the Wordpress icon and not my own. Grrrrrrr.........

I created the favicon in Photoshop first then converted it to .ico format here:
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/I then edited the relevant php code and, voila! All done. :)

its showing for me in firefox and safari. but the correct favicon code is really
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.rockwallkiwanis.org/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> <link rel="icon" href="http://www.rockwallkiwanis.org/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">maybe using that code instead will help.

did you try clearing your browser cache? i had a hard time getting one to show up in safari once, i tried everything i could think of. one day *POOF* it showed up on its own. i assume it was a cache issue.
