Hi,

For some reason I can´t get the favicon ico to show on my browser when entering my website... As enter my site via admin-panel the favicon show normally...

Any advice ?

My website - www.vesakalervoekholm.fi

...looks like the favicon shows when entering site but disappears as the start/ folder is loaded...

It appears you got your problem fixed. Yay!

Can you tell me how you did it? I can't get mine to appear either on the Admin screen or the regular screen.

Thanks,
PaulHarvey

Hi Paul,

Well, I placed it on the root of my website...nothing more.

Like said, it appears then disappears when entering the start/ folder...

When I enter the adminpanel it´s visible all the time... Can´t really understand why. With previous versions of Imagevue all worked just fine !

Favicon is read only once when you first time visit the site. To force browser to refresh it you can clear your history. Alternatively you can try opening it directly: http://www.vesakalervoekholm.fi/favicon.ico

Imagevue relies on png favicon, this is what it links to in html: I believe you replaced the favicon.png last time that's why it worked right away.

Your gallery is looking for this, but its not there:

Yes, I understand that... It came as .ico when I made and downloaded it. So I guess the solutions is to rename it. I´ll try that...

Still, what I don´t understand is...why does it show when entering the admin- and powerpack panel ? I´m not a coder and don´t really understand any of it, but I´m just curious ?

Well anyways, that worked ! Something new everyday

Thanks again Nick and Karl.

Thats because, by default, a browser will look for favicon in the root of your website, and for the admin pages, it finds the "favicon.ico". However, in the Imagevue gallery frontend, we specify in the document for it to use favicon.png (because we prefer png and feel that ico is a bit old-fashioned) ... You may wanna keep both files now, in your root, favicon.png and favicon.ico ...

Thanks for clearing this up for me
