favicon

I have a favicon.ico that I use on my sites. Usually, just by dropping into the root folder (where the homepage file lives) allows the web-browser to pick-up the file. I did the same with the root php file for Thyme, but it did not work. Confused

Any suggestions?

Hi,

I believe it only works when it is in the root web server's folder. E.g. http://your.site.com/favicon.ico not http://your.site.com/folder/favicon.ico

There are other ways to specify the favicon file by placing text in Thyme's header. This can be done in Admin -> SIte Settings -> SIte Head.

For more info on what to add, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon

Dropping the favicon into the root folder where the index.php file was, making sure security setting were correct for all users, then adding into the head as you described worked!

link rel="icon" type="image/ico" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico"
