Since earlier this year, Chrome (and perhaps Firefox) have stopped showing favicons in the address field in the browser: however, both browsers seem to be showing the favicon in the top left of the tab containing the page (if you're using tabs). I just tried Safari (under Mountain Lion) on my published docs set, and it's showing the favicon in the address bar. Here are the settings and directories I use.
where I put the "source" for the favicon file --> ProjectDir/.static/favicon.ico where I have my conf.py ProjectDir/conf.py in conf.py --> html_static_path = ['.static', 'img'] in conf.py --> html_favicon = 'favicon.ico' Notice that your html_static_path list needs to have the names of your -source- static directories, so if you're using a static directory named "_static" in your source tree, then you need to have that name in your html_static_path list. This copies the favicon over to my OutputDir/html/_static/favicon.ico. And puts this into my output html, in the <head>: <link rel='shortcut icon' href='_static/favicon.ico'/> >From there, any browser that pays attention to the favicon should find it. If you have all those settings correctly aligned and your browsers are still not showing the favicon, then "something else is wrong". -- Viktor On Monday, 1 October 2012 22:34:02 UTC-4, Michelle Wetzler wrote: > > Hi - > I am also having problems with the favicon file. > I stored mine in a source/_static folder and set html_favicon = > 'favicon.ico' > I saw that after doing "make clean html", I found favicon.ico in the > build/_static/ folder.
