Download: Genesis Favicon Uploader
I’m using a favicon that I made a while back and it uploads and shows when I’m inside my dashboard but if I go out and preview my blog I see the same “G” (white on Black) that is there always. (like at the top of your page.
I’m using the Streamline child theme and WP is current at 3.1.
If there some place to put the favicon now? I have it in the root dir and that used to work before I switched to Genesis. If there is something else I need to do to get it to promulgate across all posts and pages…
Thanks
It’s possible it may be cache, since some browsers really do like to cache the favicons. I would first check in a browser you normally don’t use and see if the uploaded one shows then. But, if you are comfortable with FTP you can just upload the favicon directly into the child theme’s images folder.
Same here. I’ve tried to upload the .ico file several times with the plugin and it keeps giving me the “only .ico files are allowed” message. I’ve also uploaded it directly into the image folders of both the genesis and child theme folders. No change in any browser – even when clearing cache. I’ve uninstalled the plugin at this point. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
The default file directory for genesis to load favicons is in the image directory folder within your child theme. if you upload favicon.ico there genesis will load your favicon.
Been busy with work currently, but i will be changing the way the favicon is uploaded. The issue is with server permissions. So will be moving the uploaded favicon files into the media dir.
