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.
