Hi,

I uploaded a favicon.ico file which is 16x16. I have cleared my browser's cache and have waited a full day, and it still doesn't appear.

Please advise what the issue could be preventing it from appearing.

Thanks.

Heeeeey, sometimes it can take a bit longer. If you really don't want to wait, you can upload an favicon in another folder, and use the following code in your site's header. (this code works with other imagefiles too).
Code
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="URL TO IMAGE">

Hi,

I'll just continue to wait a little longer.

If it still doesn't appear then I'll do that. I'm not sure where to paste that code though. I use the Blog. Would I paste it in the blog module?

Hi,

If you look at my website (link in my sig) you'll see that there is nothing there now.

Maybe I missed a page?

Try upload again.

File must be .ico file not just named like that, look here: http://thepercolator.ucoz.net/favicon.ico

You still have default uCoz favicon that mean you did not upload favicon.ico because there is no other reason for favicon to remain the same.

Try upload again, if not working try upload some random .ico file 16x16 just rename it to favicon, check here for some https://www.iconfinder.com/ and if it work like that it means that you have problem with your custom favicon.

Heeeeey, it's still the uCoz standard one. And looking at your site's source code, you haven't added the code for manual favicon ( the code which uses image files such as .png).

Oops, I forgot to add the URL to the favicon. I'll try again.

Btw, where do I find the source code page?

Heeeeey, I'm viewing source code by right clicking in Chrome and choosing to show source.

Maybe I'm putting it in the wrong place. This is one of the places I put it on the blog header:

<html>
<head><link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://i.imgur.com/GR6djvY.png?1">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
<title>$MODULE_NAME$ - $SITE_NAME$</title>
<?$META_DESCRIPTION$?>

<link type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet" href="/.s/src/css/783.css" />
</head>

Heeeeey, that image Davor linked to above is currently showing as your favicon. From a development perspective I'd advise downloading that image and uploading it to your site locally, however, that's up to you. Apart from that - if the uCoz favicon was not changing make sure that it was a .ico file you were uploading and that it was exactly 16x16(px). wink

Yes, I had converted it to an .ico file.

I will try what you said and see if I start to see it too.

Thanks.
