favicon

I am able to use favicons if I copy one from another site and test. But my own doesn't work in IE8/Chrome. Mine is a 32x32 24bit icon created by Visual Studio. I always seem to have problems getting icons working right, what should I use? I thought I could have images up to 64x64... See this site for instructions for creating a favicon.ico - it needs to be 16*16, not 32*32 (though you can have a composite .ico with both sizes). I have created composite .ico files with several sizes, so they appear correctly on the browser and the desktop. First, just to be safe, convert your original icon to

Are there any restrictions on naming the favorites icon (favicon) file as anything other than favicon.ico ? I know for sure that it can be named anything, as long as the favicon tag refers to the correct file name. For example: <link href="/somefile.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="icon" /> <link href="/somefile.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon" /> The code above works just fine in displaying the icon. What I want to know is does this violate any W3C/HTML specifications or this is permitted usage? According to W3C , the preferred method is to actually specify the favicon in the html

I am trying to change favicon in wordpress. For which i have uploaded image in media and in theme customisation, under site identity i used that image as a favicon. Which is displaying in my admin panel but not in website browser. I tried to inspect it, so it is showing me below line but not coming image name in href <link rel="icon" href="" type="image/x-icon"> So for that i need to change my each php file's head with appropriate code that is <link rel="icon" href="http://my_url/image" sizes="32x32" /> but my question is, is there anyway where i can directly change it without going to all the

I would like to know if it is necessary for me to specify it like this: <link rel="icon" href="[URL]" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="[URL]" type="image/x-icon" /> or can I just include it in the root and the browser will look for it? Also what's the difference between rel="icon" and rel="shortcut" ? All of the major five browsers look in the site's root for a file named exactly favicon.ico , regardless of type, automatically. You can override this with a link element with rel="icon" , or rel="shortcut icon" . The latter is supported by every browser, while the former is

If I configure Apache to serve /favicon.ico as MIME type image/vnd.microsoft.icon, instead of image/x-icon, will it break on any browsers? Wikipedia's favicon article indicates that image/vnd.microsoft.icon is the "correct" mime type, but that doesn't help if it means some users won't see it. I need to support IE6+, as well as modern browsers (FF/Chrome/Opera/Safari). Google serve /favicon.ico as image/x-icon, and I'd guess they know what they're talking about (or at least, what's compatible). Off the top of my head, image/vnd.microsoft.icon will work only if the image actually is a real ICO

I have a problem with this favicon I generated for a local server php project. It works fine on most browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera) but on Microsoft Edge it doesn't work (It shows the default tab favicon). I've tried many solutions to this problem like clearing the cache, using image format (.png) instead of icon (.ico), but nothing seemed to work. Here are the lines of code that I've included in the HTML head: <link rel="icon" href="<?php echo Yii::$app->request->baseUrl; ?>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo Yii::$app->request-
