I am making a HTML page that is unpublished . One of the things I wanted to do was add a favicon to appear next to the title. I'm using google chrome and I noticed that other websites have favicons that appear next to the tile in the browser, but the one I'm trying to display won't show up. The site in in a folder on my desktop named site. This is the code:

Fixing Chrome download status bar not appearing after a download Posted by Alan Siu February 16, 2016 January 25, 2017 12 Comments on Fixing Chrome download status bar not appearing after a download This is a rather obscure problem (I've seen it happen only once in the past 7+ years Chrome has been on the market), but I figured I'd document the.

Since you have a leading / in your href, you are referencing a file that will be in the root-folder. In case you have your page in a folder on your computer, not serving it from a local webserver, the leading / will tell the browser to look in the root folder of your filesystem. So the browser expect the file to be at C:/favicon.ico or similar, which is probably not what you've expected.

If you have the favicon.ico in the same folder as the web page, you could just remove the leading slash, and the icon should be visible.

Update:

As a debug option, your could try to add a tag that you know works. I borrowed this snippet from the StackOverflow source. Try replacing your link tag with this and see if you get the SO logo as your favicon.

Update 2:

It appears that there is a bug reported on Chromium where the favicon isn't displayed if the file is loaded locally, without being served through a webserver.

I've found that (at Chrome 56, OSX) the favicon state appears to be cached for the browser lifetime, so if a favicon isn't being loaded, it won't be until after restarting Chrome. It appears that it doesn't show up in the 'application' tab in dev tools and isn't cleared by a hard reload or 'Clear site data'.

A common issue where the favicon will not show up when expected is cache, if your .htaccess for example reads: ExpiresByType image/x-icon 'access plus 1 month'

Then simply add a random value to your favicon reference: <link href='https://example.com/favicon.ico?r=31241' type='image/x-icon' />

Works every time for me even with heavy caching.

Another reason for Chrome not displaying the favicon is that it still remembers a time when the site in question did not have a favicon or the favicon was incorrectly configured.

You're going to want to completely wipe the favicon cache:

  1. Exit all running Chrome processes.

  2. Delete the Favicons file in your user data folder. For example:

This can not be resolved by clearing the browser cache, as it does not affect the Favicons container.

Also note that, contrary to what you might readonline, requests to favicon resources are not shown in the Network panel of the DevTools. Under very rare circumstances, one such request may show up there, but it is highly unlikely and the DevTools will not help you solve your favicon woes.

1) Clear your chache. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95582 And test another browser, lets say safari. How did you import the favicon?

2) How you should add it:

Normal favicon:

PNG/GIF favicon:

3) Another thing could be the problem that chrome can't display favicons, if it's local (not uploaded to a webserver).

4) Try to rename it from favicon.{whatever} to {yourfaviconname}.{whatever} but I would suggest you to still have the normal favicon. This has solved my issue on IE.

5) Found another solution for this which works great! I simply added my favicon as Base64 Encoded Image directly inside the tag like this:

It doesn't look like Chrome allows you to display the favicon in the address bar...

I've also seen it done like this. Don't know if it would make a difference or not.

For me the problem was that there was a div above it (which of course shouldn't have been in the head, but it happens). Firefox didn't mind, but Chrome did.

This trick works: add this script in header or masterPage for Example

and will be cached. It's not optimal, but it works.

The path must be via the URI (full).

Like: http://example.com/favicon.png

so in your case:

Note if you have so many tabs open that Google Chrome is only showing the favicons then Google Chrome won't show the favicon for the selected tab, so if you keep reloading the tab with your page loaded in order to see your new favicon you will only see the text of your page's title.

You will need to reload your page, and then select a different tab in order to see your favicon.

I moved ico file to root folder and link it. It worked for me. Also, in chrome, I have to wait 30 mins to get cache cleared and new changes to take affect.

This issue was driving me nuts! The solution is quite easy actually, just add the following to the header tag:

Chrome

For example:

Your html is completely wrong for starters, there should not be a div within your head section, nor after your body section. I suggest you look into correct html first before starting to work with favicons etc.
