Add favicon for a addon/parked domain

[Remco Heijnen]

hi,

I'm working on a site with the metro pro theme. I used the favicon code in functions.php.

First time i'm working with a second domain that points to the main domain. When I go the main sitename directly, the favicon shows up in the browser (chrome). When I use the second domain, the favicon does not appear. Instead, the favicon of the hostingprovider remains.

Clearing the cache doesn't help so far.
A favicon in the home directory doesn't work either.

Now I need some help... 🙁 doen anyone have a solution?

Thanks very much in advance.

If you overwrite the favicon in the wp-content/themes/theme-name/images/ directory, that should do the trick.

Hi, thanks for helping. I allready tried that. Doesn't help.

Right now I have my favicon.ico in the home dir, in the images folder and the php in functions.php.

This causes to have no favicon at all....

On second glance, I see that you have something generating this code on your page:
<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

It appears that you didn't change "mydomain.com" to your actual URL. That may do it.

Ah yes, forgot that one. It did not make any difference when I reffered to the favicon.ico in the home dir. Still no visible favicon. I gave the full URL to the favicon in de media folder another try. That worked! For all url's... Not sure though what made it work. The only difference is that I put an extra favicon.ico in the home dir. Maybe it took some time to recognize it was there?

Anyways. Thanks for thinking with me.
