Hey ya'll I have this line of code here for my favicon.ico file

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://www.myurl.com/wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/favicon.ico" />

The file is in the right place and I cleared my cache and restarted my browser and its not working, it is also placed inside my header tags.

    I've found that browsers do weird caching on favicons... Have you tried a different browser? Also, have a read over [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2208933/how-do-i-force-a-favicon-refresh) and see if it helps – Christian Jun 19 '12 at 03:22

    Yep, sorry about that. Didn't realize the base URL. Haha sorry! If you copy/paste the URL of the ICO into the address bar, does it show it (in the problematic browser)? What browser is it not working in anyways? – Ian Jun 19 '12 at 03:28
  • i was firefox, but now it is working :) – user979331 Jun 19 '12 at 03:52

Try this one 

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="/yourAssetFilePath/favicon.ico" />

yeah, i just have

<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="/favicon.ico" />

works for me, it does do some funny caching thing though, and i think it's in IE that you need to bookmark the page before it appears?
