Export your HTML and then just edit index.html with any text editor look for sentence <link rel="...................................>

Then delete all this sentence and copy this one

PATH = Where you have your favicon.ico

I usually copy the favicon.ico in the folder images so the sentence will be like this

i hope it helps you

Sorry about my english, my spanish is much better

Hmm, I don't know about your code. I've always used...

Also, make sure you've uploaded the .ico file to your server.

If you put the favicon.ico file in your site's root directory, there shouldn't be any need for the link at all. Browsers should automatically pick it up.

I know for myself the OCD can kick in pretty hard having an image file floating out with my index.html, but it's a perfectly legitimate way to do it.

Hello jan,

our browsers must be "convinced" first to show It! Upload the favicon.ico file to your server's root directory. Insert this line of code between the <head> </head> tags on your home or index.html page (I prefer that):

Clear ALL your caches!

Check with another browser, the new icon will be there.

Or:

- If set, delete the bookmark to the page or re-create the bookmark.
- Quit browser
- Empty the Temp Internet Files Internet Options
- Clear History
- Delete everything in general, where the browser remembers visited sites.
- Restart
- Clear Site visit
- Clear Bookmark

Good luck!

Two things:

If you used what you pasted above on your homepage...

...as written and with the favicon.ico in your images folder, it won't work. The links would have needed to be changed to reflect the fact that your .ico file was inside the images folder...

Secondly, placing the .ico file in a folder called "images" within your root folder means it is not "in your root folder" as I described above. Placing it on the same level as your index.html would be "in your root folder" for automatic detection by browsers with no links needed.

Do as Jon has stated multiple times above and place your favicon.ico in your root folder with your index page. There is no need to add anything to your pages, as it will be automatic. It works across all browsers.

PS. Thanks Jon, I learned something today... or yesterday.
