FAVICON : WHY SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT WORK ?

[Ron Wolpa]

I´ve made favicon work very easily many times doing exactly the same as pasted below :

<link rel="icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />


<link rel="icon" href="http://mmkt.net.br/images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://mmkt.net.br/images/favicon.png" type="image/png" />

It simply does not work with this site, I´ve tried both codes and it hasn´t worked. Needless to mention that the image is on the server. Any suggestion ? Thanks.

When you say “does not work”…what do you mean?

Chrome, for instance, doesn’t use favicons BUT it does use the ‘favicon’ image when you make a shortcut and in the ‘tab’ image.

When you say “this site”…what does that mean?

Is this issue browser specific…if so..which one(s)?

Did you try clearing your cache?

It does not work means that the favicon icon does not load on the left side of the Chrome tab , just before where the title text comes up.
With Firefox favicon (the icon at the left side of the tab) is shown.

How about converting your favicon from .png to .ico?

Which site….?

@Paulie_D It’s in the source code above.
