I have uploaded a background graphic for my Pinboard themed site. The only problem is that it is very slow to load.
I uploaded the graphic through the customise facility – is there something I can do to change the behaviour please. It is a large graphics set at “top”.

Another one – I have uploaded a fav.ico into the theme area (top level of theme) as per WP codex. The icon is not appearing – is there another way for this theme to include the favicon.ico on same site as previous post. 🙂
did you place the code in the header.php file?
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico" />
No I didn’t Paul – I couldn’t find that information – thank you so much.
Cheers
@ Paul, where exactly do I put the code you mentioned in the header.php?
And where do I upload the new favicon.ico file? What is the theme’s main folder?
Thx again!
1. So in the header.php, at the very top you should see <head>. Find the end tag </head> which isn’t too far down. Just place the code right BEFORE this tag. So it should be like
"Favicon CODE"
</head>
2. I can’t make it much more clear than the codex does it seems pretty straight forward. Just follow the link that WPyogi or “YODA” as I like to call him, provided and read the “Installing a Favicon in WordPress” instructions.
