16,482 PointsThe code for my favicon does not show up in the source code, and so obviously I don't see the favicon. What can I do?
I have typed in the code for my favicon in the header.php page, right before the call to wp_head(). But when I go to the source page, it's not there. I have faithfully copied Zac's code, except for the folder path. My folder is img and not images. I am stumped. I have no idea why this is happening. Can someone help?

16,482 PointsHey, it's working now. And I have no idea why. The source code shows the line for the favicon and the favicon is showing up on the browser tab. It's really weird.
Thanks, Chris, for your interest.
