    I’m having issues with my favicon. It displays correctly in every browser except IE11. I’ve tried using files favicon.ico and favicon.png, to no avail. I’ve added the following to the header file, since IE generally prefers the “shortcut icon” reference, but that didn’t fix the problem, either:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $evolve_favicon; ?>" type="image/x-icon" />

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I am using the following for my own personal website. http://denzelchia.com
    I have no problem seeing my favicon in Microsoft Edge browser in Windows 10.

    <link rel='icon' type='image/png' href='http://denzelchia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/favicon.png'>
    <link rel='shortcut icon' href='http://denzelchia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/favicon.png'>

    Perhaps, changing to the following will work.

    <link rel='icon' type='image/png' href="<?php echo $evolve_favicon; ?>" />
    <link rel='shortcut icon' href="<?php echo $evolve_favicon; ?>" />

    Thanks!

    Thank you for the response. The issue seems to have had something to do with either the use of a sub-directory or the htaccess security on that sub-directory during development. Either way, now that the site is live and htaccess security removed, I have favicon support across browsers.

    Thanks again!
