Favicon in Blog.

[deepak]

Hello Everybody,
We can place "fav icon" in a Blog using Plugin...

Great find Deepak.

But plugins can be installed only for functionality which are not too small like image gallery, contact forms, content slider etc...which is not that easy to build.

Note that for each plugin installation our database will get bigger and will have to face server load issue which ultimately hangs the website.

So for the things which we can do manually or in small cases, never depend on plugins.

Actually the normal method "<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" /> " doesnt seem to be working for strange reasons! Thats why we had to look for the alternate method using plugin.

Is there an error thrown? If so please post it here.
It should work, we must be missing something in the syntax.

Check syntax.
Check browsers. I think Chrome has issues.
Check the name of the image.
Check the image has permissions (view).
