You’re not the only one to have made that mistake. No worries. 😀

My apologies to Chris Pearson. I thought that Beckman character was the designer of Thesis.

I’m not the theme designer. 😉 I contributed some code to it earlier this year/last year and spent some time on the support side of things, but that’s it. The theme designer set up a support board for a reason. You’re the one asking for support on a blog entry rather than using the designated support path. 😉

And no, I’m not wrong about the Favicons. They just work, assuming you created the file correctly, named it correctly, and uploaded it to the correct spot. I promise you that. Meta tags only help a few browsers.

The “animated-favicon.gif” was in there because I swapped it off the page it was on to show it here as an example. Anyway, I named mine something different, but that’s beside the point.

You were wrong about “You don’t have to do *anything* to add a favicon other than adding the file to your site. ” And now it seems you won’t help me with the other issue and you’re pointing me to some forum. Nice.

It’s sad I’ll have to seek help elsewhere because I can’t get it from the theme designer.

If you aren’t using the name “favicon.ico” (which it looks like you’re using “animated_favicon.gif”), then it won’t be automatic. The standards are there for a reason — they make things easier. 🙂

For your other question, check out the support board.

Any ideas why the /images aren’t working?

Well, it’s been in my root directory this whole time and it never appeared on the site. I added the code for it to the header.php file and now it’s up there.

You don’t have to do *anything* to add a favicon other than adding the file to your site. Name it favicon.ico, drop it in the root of your site (so that you can view it at example.com/favicon.ico), and enjoy. That’s all. Not all browsers catch it immediately — some take a while to show it — but that’s all you have to do to have a favicon. Doesn’t matter what you’re using to run your site or which theme you’re using. 🙂

Sorry, I forget to parse that part of my comment.

Also, how do you add a custom favicon to this theme? I’ve tried the various tutorials that say to add….

…into the Header Scripts box, but this isn’t working for me, either.
