icon is not displayed in chrome

  • hey,

    I have a problem with my icon, I’m using the following code: 

    <link rel="icon" href=".../favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon"  type="image/x-icon" href="img/favicon.ico" />

    … is the link

    but my icon is only displayed in firefox after refreshing the site not at the first hit

    and with chrome it’s not displayed at all, only when I go into my dashboard

    I already deleted the cache and waited for 24h, does anyone know why or has advice?

  • I believe the favicon must be expressed as either an absolute path (https://www.example.com/subdir/favicon.ico) or root relative path (/subdir/favicon.ico)

    it is an absoluth path I just didn’t want to type out the whole link, it’s like that: 

    <link rel="icon" href="https://markhuber.bplaced.net/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon"  type="image/x-icon" href="img/favicon.ico" />

    The following code, when rendered, displayed your favicon in Chrome, Firefox, Safari & IE10.

    <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<link rel="icon" href="https://markhuber.bplaced.net/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon"  type="image/x-icon" href="https://markhuber.bplaced.net/favicon.ico" />
</head>

    ok thanks but still doesn’t work, I read somewhere that it cant take up to 24h to adapt the edits, is that true?

    I’d be surprised if that is the case. I don’t use WP.com, so I don’t know what their conventions about this are. Maybe a browser cache issue? W3 Total Cache plugin or something like that? I see your favicon when I render that HTML code in all browsers, which leads me to believe it’s some kind of local caching issue.

    yestoday i also found out the bug in chrome when i am in my blog, that i can save draft post form dashboard !
