Add this to the head of your page.<link rel="icon" href="http://example.com/favicon.ico" />
>>54711725
You first, shitlord.
>>54711928
And do you mean this place?
Just upload it to the root directory of your site. Browsers will request it automatically.
>>54712036
Ok how do you find the root directory/ folder?
Oh no im totally lost.

It did not seem to work, do I wait awhile for it to work?
>>54711928
I don't think you even need to do that, anymore. Just put favicon in the folder.
>>54713047
Which folder is that?
>>54713136
Your dropbox folder.
>>54713136
System32

bummp
b b ump
literally just put a file named "favicon.ico" in the websites' root
see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#File_format_support
for format support and directly under it, the ways it can be used

Ok, there we go, after applying some glue, I was able to stick the icon onto the url.
>>54714998
But seriously one more thing, im on hostbaby, and how do you find the websites root/ folder?
>>54715446
the root is the top-most folder, where the main index.html/index.php is
>>54715515
But how do I access it?
>>54715566
you run a website and don't know how to access its files? i'm not sure how that's possible
>>54715583
I really don't. it barely shows me anything. The site is only an extension of a hosting site.
>>54715617
how you install webapps or change content?
>>54715617
shared hosting is a shit.
u have ftp access?
otherwise email support.
>>54715648
probably via cpanel 2bh. he should have ftp access but probably not root.
>>54715676
I tried downloading a ftp. However I don't know what to put in for username and password. It keeps saying it can't connect to the website.
>>54715689
i think you should hire someone to manage your website
>>54712026
Ha-ha "advanced users only"
>>54715697
Should be a good idea if he knows how to apply the icon, but I wouldn't anymore help after that.
>>54715713
And look, this is all it says in the help section for it.
>>54715697
I'm trying to see if someone could help with the site.
>>54715697
Could (You) simply be able to help me? ill give you my username/ password.
>>54715840
i could, but i'm about to leave to drop off a friend at the airport
>>54715884
u should delete this. g is friendlier than most boards but yeah..
email support for your ftp credentials (they will probably be the same as for your cpanel login.) remember to use sftp.
Ignore the haters, I started off in shared hosting not knowing wtf I was doing and now manage my own for my websites with debian.
