   I have inserted at least 3 times the icon beside the address in the navigation bar because it has also disappeared as many times. How can that be? Is there a way WP do not delete it? It is my impression it has been automatically deleted every time there was an update.

   Thanks,

   Lluís

   Where are you putting the favicon file? If you are putting it in a WordPress core folder it probably is getting deleted on upgrade, like most everything else.

   You can put the favicon elsewhere and direct your the browser to it. Here's a fairly comprehensive, WordPress focussed, favicon tutorial: http://www.artofblog.com/understanding-favicons/

   Hah!!! Glad you have a link, GRAQ. :) I was going to have to look for one or write it out myself.

   apljdi - The WordPress upgrade DOES NOT delete files you add (it can't - it can ONLY delete files it knows about and is specifically told to delete read How the WP Upgrade Works for more on that). You can safely put a favicon.ico file in the same folder as your .htaccess and it will automagically work for your site. I do it for every site I make, works perfectly.
