My favicon not changing right....

[zzpoointzz]

yep (the title)

i read how to change the favicon, and i did it, the black old favicon of simplemachines went, but the google chrome default one came, look:



The site is: sglegendaryhacks.com

[ApplianceJunk]

I don't see any favicon at this URL.

http://sglegendaryhacks.com/favicon.ico

Were did you place it?

[zzpoointzz]

i placed it in the public directory, and in the theme folder (www.ico (?))

[ApplianceJunk]

The file should be called favicon.ico and placed in public_html

How did you create the favicon.ico? What size is it?

Can you attach a copy of the favicon.ico for us to see what you are trying to use?

[zzpoointzz]

this is the image... i have placed it even in th public html

When I try to view it there it says file not found.

Edited to add: I'm able to download it and see it, but it's not named favicon.ico

[ApplianceJunk]

Try to attach it here as I just did with my favicon.ico file.

You realize it needs to be called favicon and it needs to be a .ico file?

[zzpoointzz]

yep... wen i put it in the public i rename it ...! surre!!


anyway aatachment (not renamed)

I have always made my favicons 16x16, not sure if that would make any difference.

Other then the size guess I'm out of idea's.

[MrPhil]

Isn't the limit 32x32, and 16x16 is the usual size?

[ApplianceJunk]

Isn't the limit 32x32, and 16x16 is the usual size?

I have seen them 32x32, not sure if that is the limit or not. In any case zzpoointzz has posted a .ico that is 64x64.

[zzpoointzz]

64 48 and 32 16 are all fine... but i will try doing it a 32

[kat]

16x16 is the most common.

You won't see any detail, even if you make it bigger.

[zzpoointzz]

could some one make it 16x16, because wen i conver it to an ico it goes back to 64x64, and anyway if i try to resise the ico (that i converted previusly) pain would just make me save it in bmp or jpeg...

[zzpoointzz]

not working .... thats why i made this thrread .... strangely not working.. deleted cookies and cache

[kat]

You put it in the same place as the file Settings.php?

A browser is by default going to ask for /favicon.ico unless you use a <link> tag to specify another location, name, and/or filetype. Plus, it may take a while for a given browser to notice a new or changed favicon.ico file, and you may even have to clear cache to prod the browser into asking for it again. Different browsers behave in different ways.
