    Hello guys I have a problem.. with my website http://www.lookari.com

    my favicon only seems to appear on chrome.. I scoured the internet and checked why is that and I can’t seem to find any answers. I uploaded my favicon using File Zila(FTP) into my themes>images folder I also dropped it into my www root directory. My favicon is 16×16 and is saved under .ico not jpg or png.

    I’d greatly appreciate it if anyone can help me

    Is something like this being output in <head>:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http:/mysite.com/file.ico" />

    ???

    If not, add it (appropriately coded) to header.php in <head>.

    I dont think so how Would I appropriately cold it and where would i put it in… my header looks like this

    #<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘www.lookari.com’); ?>/images/favico.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://lookari.com/images/favicon.ico”&gt;
    <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” />
    <!–[if IE]><link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/ie.css” /><![endif]–>

    sorry im not proficient in coding and this favicon situation is a pain in the rear

    My example:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http:/mysite.com/file.ico" />

    Yours: 

    #<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('www.lookari.com'); ?>/images/favico.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

    Yours is wrong.

    There’s a plug-in that takes away the little irritations that come with getting favicons to work. Take a look at

    I did all that it seems my favicon is just screwy… I tested it using a HTML favicon validator and these are the results…

    Details:
    Found the web page at:
    http://www.lookari.com (20.39 KB)

    Found <link rel=”icon” …> tag that specify a favicon:
    <link rel=”icon” href=”http://lookari.com/favicon.ico&#8221; type=”image/x-icon” />

    Found favicon at:
    http://lookari.com/favicon.ico (1.12 KB)

    (16*16 pixels, 16777216 max colors, Icon image file format)

    Found <link rel=”shortcut icon” …> tag that specify a favicon:
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”Lookari /images/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />

    Found favicon at:
    http://www.lookari.com/Lookari /images/favicon.ico (0.22 KB)

    The favicon doesn’t appear to be a valid icon.

    Found additional <link rel=”shortcut icon” …> tag (#2) that specify a favicon:
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://lookari.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/favicon4.ico&#8221; />

    Found favicon at:
