Alright I found the file and the area I had to put it in, but it's still not coming up.

This is what I put:

echo "<title>$titleinfo</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href=""fanfiction/favicon.ico"" />

http://www.tabootwins.com

Edit: Yes! I did it! I changed it to this

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="" http://www.tabootwins.com/fanfiction/favicon.ico" ;" />

I think if you put this it will work:


echo "<title>$titleinfo</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href=""favicon.ico"" />

Reason being it looks like header.php is also in the fanfiction folder. Since (as I assume) they're in the same folder, with the extra fanfiction folder in the relative path, you were telling it the absolute (incorrect) http://www.tabootwins.com/fanfiction/fanfiction/favicon.ico/

Right, both should work, assuming the two files are in the same folder as I believe they are. One is a relative link and one's absolute. Just wanted to let you know the difference, because some things (bridges, I believe) don't like the absolute links like the one you used.

I did mine the same as Forgetfull, and it worked ok.  I won't be using any bridges.  I could not get it to work any other way lol
