Favicon not displayed in Safari but is displayed in admin pages

  • I have been through every post here and everywhere else trying to resolve this issue. I am using the Vertigo 3 theme from Brian Gardner https://www.briangardner.com/themes/vertigo-wordpress-theme.htm. It appears to have all of the code necessary to display the favicon already in the header according to all of the posts. I have also tried a couple of other similar themes with favicons and got the same (non) result.

    The favicon shows fine in IE, Firefox, but not Safari. I have followed all of the recommendations to clear the icon cache, etc. One odd thing is that the favicon DOES display on WP-Admin pages in Safari.

    I have checked on other Macs that have never accessed my site, another PC running Safari for Windows and … no favicon. Favicons on other sites show up (ie above on WP).

    Pertinent details:
    1. Running latest version of Safari 3.1
    2. Hosted on a linux shared server (GoDaddy)
    3. Most recent version of WordPresss

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • can you post your favicon code here, or your header code?
