curtdonohue Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Can anyone tell me how to create a favicon? I tried to create a 16x16 pixel .ico file type in GIMP, but I'm only getting a white colored square.How do you create favicons? What program do you use?Thanks!Curt Donohue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtdonohue Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 You search google for fav.ico generators, it brings up a long list! This is the 1st one I came across! Hope it helps! Thanks for the help! I used a favicon generator at http://www.favicongenerator.com/ and it converted my .jpg file into a nice favicon. I then uploaded that favicon in Back Office >> Preferences >> Appearance in the Favicon uploader. The favicon shows up on that admin page as the "The favicon used by your shop." The problem I'm having is that the favicon does not actually show up in the browser tab. It is a white block instead of the green block with black lettering. Any ideas?Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkwal Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I suffered a similar problem when I uploaded my fav.ico, so uploaded it to my severs root directory manually. This solved the problem for me, so could be worth a shot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkwal Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Try clearing your cache in IE, and view your site in one of the other popular browsers. To see weather it has taken effect there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robkwal Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Dito the above, if we are indeed at the right web address! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtdonohue Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks everyone. Closing and reopening Mozilla Firefox solved my problem. Apparently it was a caching issue. I appreciate all your help.And, yes, the above website is the correct address.Curt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
