(Solved) Favicon Problem

[Dahl99]

Solved - Didn't realise you could use a jpg file which what I used. Thought it had to be an ico file.

 

Hi,

 

I've upgraded to 1.5.4 and now having a problem with the favicon.

 

I tried to upload it from the BO - preferences/themes but it does not appear in the BO or in a browser even though it says it's uploaded successfully. When I use FTP the file appears to have been uploaded to the root directory of my shop. I've tried doing it manually using FTP as well but no joy.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe it's your browser cache issue? Have you tried to clear browser cache?

[Dahl99]

Yes and tried different browsers.

 

Also in the BO in the stats/pages not found the favicon shows up a lot.

you've got in shop source this:

 

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/shop/img/favicon.jpg?1368274287" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/shop/img/favicon.jpg?1368274287" />

 

this file exist there? (/shop/img/favicon.jpg) ?

I thought the favicon had to be an ico file.

 

<link rel="icon" type="image/vnd.microsoft.icon" href="/shop/img/favicon.jpg?1368274287" />

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/shop/img/favicon.jpg?1368274287" />

 

In which file is the above.
