Admin CP  - > Style Manager - > Headers & Footers


Favicons' can be used as .ico .png & .gif images, the preferred image type is .ico, so I will only show you how to use .ico files.


If your favicon is an .ico image, please use the following code in your Header.


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

Now, replace Image URL with the URL of the image from the image host you used. I will post an image host that you can use to upload .ico files, as most do not allow .ico images.


http://favicon.co.uk/ (Make sure to name your image "favicon")


Save your Headers & Footers, and your image should now show.


If you are having troubles with the image not showing up, please feel free to PM me

I think you have to put it in the metatags textarea, not the headers

Just for quick assistance, make sure the image is an .ico for it to work in all browsers.

Code: [Select]
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://favicon.co.uk/ico/3483.png" type="image/favicon">

It should not be a png or jpg file it should be .ico!!
In ur case the image should be:-
3483.ico
not
3483.png!
Look at my code:-
Code: [Select]
<LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.melior.fav.cc/favicon.ico" />
see!
Its favicon.ico file.
so convert urs into ico too.
Many online ico converters are available
