Why Is My Favicon Not Showing Up Wix?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 6:39 am

If you have a Wix website and your favicon is not appearing, there are a few potential reasons why. First, make sure that you have actually uploaded a favicon to your site.

If you haven’t done that yet, go to the Wix editor and click on “Add Favicon” in the “Settings” tab. Then, select your favicon file and click “OK.”

GREAT NEWS:

Exciting update! We've collaborated with Wix to offer WBI users with a free plan for all website creation needs - Explore the details here.

If you have uploaded a favicon but it still isn’t appearing, it’s possible that your browser is cached and needs to be refreshed. To do this, simply press Ctrl + F5 (on a PC) or Cmd + R (on a Mac).

Another possibility is that there is something wrong with the code on your site. To check for this, go to the “Settings” tab and click on “Edit Site Code.” Then, look for the following line of code:

PRO TIP: If you are having trouble seeing your favicon on Wix, it is likely because you have not correctly implemented it. Make sure that you have added the favicon to the root directory of your website and that it is in the .ico format. If you still can’t see it, try clearing your browser’s cache.

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

If that line of code is not present or if it’s not formatted correctly, your favicon will not appear. To fix this, simply add the line of code to your site’s code or copy and paste it from Wix.com. Once you’ve done that, save your changes and refresh the page.

Conclusion:

If your favicon still isn’t appearing on your Wix website, try clearing your browser’s cache or check the code on your site to make sure the necessary line of code is present and formatted correctly.
