Full Version: Favicon works everywhere but home page...

I've got this in the headerinclude:
<link rel="icon" href="http://i.imgur.com/CZwnOUg.png" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://i.imgur.com/CZwnOUg.png" />

Funny thing though, the icon works everywhere BUT the home page.

I see this on the homepage [Image: d277279ed92cf7804fd8841be2171fd2.png] have you uploaded the image as favicon.ico?
I was hoping just to use the HTML for it so I wouldn't have to get into the FTP.
Well it's pulling that from somewhere, which is the image in the ftp and I assume that takes priority over the HTML.
Ah okay, well thank you very much! Smile

I'll go look into the FTP to change it then. Didn't realize that was what was overriding it.

That's never the correct way to go. It takes maximally few minutes to upload an image to FTP and you:
- save external HTTP requests and thus also site loading time for each user that visits your site (especially important on mobile devices)
- don't risk images disappearing out of sudden. imgur is a solid and known hosting that most likely won't vanish quickly, but there's always a chance for a hacker attack or whatever - imgur was even attacked not so long ago, IIRC.
