    Hello Friends


    I have trouble in viewing my icon in address bar.
    I have saved an icon in my root directory and also images folder and added the following code into the header tag
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"/>
    Please help me with this.



    Thanks

    Maybe your favicon.ico has some problems , try check the favicon again. Or contact your host providers, they can help you very well ;)

    Upload the favicon in the root folder and place the following code between <head>...</head>

    
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    
    Code (markup):
    To see the favicon clear the cache of your browser and reload the page!

    Use this website to easily create a favicon: tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

    Firstly, try visiting the URL in your browser to make sure the icon is uploaded correctly

    Then try restarting your browser and clearing your cache, I've found that FireFox in particular often takes a while to recognize a new favicon

    just rename it to fav.ico or something and rename the icon and refresh. you have favicon cached.

    It's always cache. COOKIES have nothing to do with this. Also it depends on ur browser. User Firefox, Chrome. IE will not display it

    Try to open it in several browser to check your favicon works or not and clean your cache, and try re-visit your site again.
    If it's still not solve your problem, try to upload your favicon to another image hosting service, and re-visit your site.
    Hope this solution can clear your problem.

    Clear all internet files, cookies, cache and upload the following code after changes: <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/favicon" href="http://www.examplexxx.com/favicon.ico">
