[Guide] How to get a Favicon
« on: October 10, 2012, 10:12:42 pm »
The image should be 16x16 pixels
The image can be .gif, .png or .ico   (preferably .ico named favicon.ico)


1.  If using an .ico file name it favicon.ico
     It will show up in all browsers with no problems
     Put this in your HEADER:


Code: [Select]
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="image url" type="image/x-icon" />


Replace image url with the url of the favicon.ico

2.  If you use a .gif or .png image you need to use both of the codes below in order for it to show up in all browsers.       


Code: [Select]

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="image url" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="image url" type="image/x-icon">


replace image url with the url of your image
Where it says image/png -   leave it as image/png for a .png file.  Change it to image/gif if your image is a .gif.

I looked in your Headers and Footers and you have multiple code for Favicons which I don't recommend so remove all of them except one. I've seen that you put /FairyTail/favicon.ico as the url to your favicon but that automatically points to http://fairytail-rp.tk/FairyTail/favicon.ico since you didn't write the full link.
Also, your favicon code wasn't closed at all, it needs to have a /> at the end.

All codes I make are tested on the latest version of Google Chrome and upon request of other browsers.

If you are using Google Chrome, clear your cache. It does that to me too. Whenever you update the favicon, Google Chrome still has your old one in it's cache files.
