    Hey,

    You need to upload favicon.ico to root folder (public html) not under theme file. BTW you have added code for that correctly so just move image of favicon.ico from theme folder to root folder.

    Moreover that it takes some time to appear (not immediately) so you need to wait for few hours for that after adding.

    DON.

    You can put it in the theme directory if you have the right path. Many themes use this code:
    href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/favicon.ico"
