I’ve got a problem with my favicon on wordpress, I didn’t even figure it out why because it worked on firefox. But let me review the problem. I used two ways to display the favicon on my website. My first approach was to add the favicon on the head with the link tag in this way:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/chick.png">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/chick.svg">
and it didn’t work.
Then I tried adding it with the site identity with wordpress, so I uploaded a png file through the wordpress dashboard (customize). But it didn’t work too, I mean, the weird thing was that I was able to see my favicon, but only when I was on the dashboard page or for example in my 404 page (and each single-post).
I quitted because I was working on other thing of my website (the favicon worked anyway if I browse my site with firefox).
Anyway today I had to switch my domain name for working reason, the website which I’m building is for a client, and now I’ve realized that I’m able to display my favicon on chrome, but it’s the older one of the domain in which I migrate. Does anyone know why it is happening?
my website address is: chickapea.me .
Thank you in advance
