I have a favicon that is a remnant of a disactivated wordpress theme. I can’t find the favicon file in the theme folder, or the wordpress or server root.
I have added my own reference to a new favicon, but the old one is still displayed.
<link rel=”icon” type=”image/png” href=”http://www.steve.doig.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/themes/grid-focus-public-10/images/favicon.ico“>
My site is here.
Edit: Favicon is New Favicon http://www.steve.doig.com.au/wordpress/wp-content/themes/grid-focus-public-10/images/favicon.ico
The default favicon location on your server gives a 404:
Your blogs homepage source-code related to linking to another location is:
Note: The file suffix is .ico which normally stands for an Microsoft Icon file. But names are not interesting for that. The
type="image/png"
is correct here, it’s a PNG file.Your blogs server does return the following mime-type header for that linked favicon:
Note: That information is wrong. The file’s mime content type is acutally
ìmage/png
. Please reconfigure your server, rename the file to .png or convert the image in that file into theimage/x-icon
type (you can choose only one of these three options, the last one is the one I would do).Suggestions
You’ll find more details in How to change the WordPress favicon?
I see an ‘S’ on a white background.
If you are still seeing the old favicon, it maybe your browser cache/history that is storing the image and matching it against the URL/domain.
Try looking on a different browser with an empty cache/history.
I’m seeing this favicon when entering the site:

Have you hard reloaded the website? Have you cleared the browser cache? Try looking at the site on a different browser.
