   I have just uploaded a favicon to my root folder - public html. However, my favicon is not showing up in either the bookmarks or the browser. I have tried clearing the cache and restarting firefox, but to no avail. Any suggestions? Here is my site:

   That's because you specified the incorrect location of your favicon.

   When I look at your source code I see the following:

   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://frenchtofluency.com/wp-content/themes/sandbox/favicon.ico" />

   It should be:

   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://frenchtofluency.com/favicon.ico" />

   Make sure to remove any php code which references your template or stylesheet directory, and just replace it with the above.

   I have done what you said, but the favicon still does not show up. Any more suggestions?

   Thanks

   It shows up for me... I see your icon in my address bar in both IE and Firefox.

   The only other thing that I can think of is the type attribute. For my websites, for example, I use the following code:

   <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

   Also, have you cleared your cache? That could be why it isn't showing up for you.

   Really? That's strange as it is not showing in either Firefox or IE for me, or in bookmarks. Yes, I cleared the cache and refreshed the browser but still no luck. Not sure what to do now...

   Success! I just tried that last piece of code you gave me it worked. I can now see my favicon. Thanks for your help!
