Thanks for your prompt reply, but i m a web developer and i got the same issue with my 10-12 website. Only one thing is common with the site:- all are running on same server.

Also i tried what u suggested here.

It will be better to use the function.php to add favicon to your site. In that state will not download your root favicon icon and will be done.

Yes its possible to move from test directory to your root.
You need to make change in url at two to three stages.
The link will help and guide you how to do it.

Create the favicon icon and put it to the images directory of your wordpress theme and then open function.php file of wordpress and put the code given below.

<?php
function favicon_icon() {
echo ‘<link type=”image/x-icon” rel=”shortcut icon” href=”’.get_bloginfo(“stylesheet_directory”).’/images/favicon.ico” />’.”\n”;
}
add_action(‘wp_head’, ‘ favicon_icon’);
?>

Be sure to name the favicon icon as “favicon.ico”

Hope it will work.

Open your wp-config.php file
and check the details given below:

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘youDatabaseName‘);

define(‘DB_USER’, ‘DatabaseUserName‘);

define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘DatabaseUserPassword‘);

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘yourHostName‘);

Probably after rechecking the details will work. Now if everything is fine, means all the entries are correct to your knowledge and still you are getting the same problem, do ask your hosting company for host name. It may be “localhost” is not the host name for your server.

Hope it will work for you
