Favicon not showing in IE or FF

    For some reason I cannot get my favicon to show in IE 7 or 8 or FF. It shows perfectly in chrome

    My site: ltgreenenergy.com

    I have tried using plugins shockingly simple favicon (currently installed) and admin favicon, and also manually inserted the code into header.php inside head tags. None of them will show the favicon in IE or FF, but all work perfectly in chrome.

    If I view source it clearly shows the favicon tag which I believe is correct: <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://ltgreenenergy.com/favicon.ico&#8221; type=”image/x-icon” />

    Is there some way my versions of IE and FF are not allowing my favicon to display?

    Can anyone see my favicon in their versions of IE or FF? Is should look like a leaf, half dark green, half light green.

    If not, how do I fix this?

    Thanks in advance.

    I can’t see it in Firefox 3.6.3. How long ago did you add it? Have you reviewed Creating_a_Favicon?

    Hi Esmi, thanks for your response…

    I had not tried using the php code suggested in that codex page: <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘template_directory’); ?>/favicon.ico” />

    but I have now tried that solution and still can’t seem to get it to work. In fact, it now no longer works in Chrome at all!

    It seems as though it is generating the correct code as IE view source shows: <link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”http://ltgreenenergy.com/wp-content/themes/ltgreenenergyFINAL290310/favicon.ico&#8221; />

    but will not show the favicon in chrome, IE or FF now…

    Strange….any ideas?

    It normally takes a few days for the favicon to appear.

    Are you sure your favicon image is where you think it is? That URL generates a 404 Page Not Found error.
