    Hey,

    I tried to do a search for this, but all I got was WordPress’s actual favicon file, so please forgive me and just reply with a link if there is already some documentation about it.

    I’d like to change the favicon (the little icon that appears next to the URL bar and on the favorites list of some browsers) but I’m not really sure how.

    What kind of file do I have to make? And where am I supposed to put it?

    Thanks!
    Alex

    That’s the site to create.

    Then when you have it, edit the theme header file and put this between the <head> </head> tags
    <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="http://www.your-domain.com/favicon.ico" />

    and upload the .ico to the same place.

    Hi Poponthe, Podz,

    My site http://www.bumiprojectpro.biz/wp/ currently have (i believe is) the original favicon, since it was already there after installation.

    I am using the Classic Theme, and i just can’t figure out exactly where is “between the <head> </head> tags” in the header.php of the said Classic Theme.

    Below is what i can see using TextWrangler.

    Any advice would be appreciated!

    Thanks

    forrest
