Trouble getting favicon to show in IE using Template Monster template

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=52
Neither one of these solutions works for me!

The favicon displays in FireFox but not Internet Explorer 8. Yes, IE usually needs the two lines of code used above to work

<link rel="icon" href="http://www.judysboutique.ca/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.judysboutique.ca/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

I tried the tutorial directions, this doesn't work for me because I don't have a file called:"
/includes/languages/english/YOURTEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

My site is hosted at HostPapa. The Zen Cart install is 1.3.8a and is done by the host. I installed Monster Templates theme - but neither the "default" install nor the template install have the meta_tags.php file.

What am I missing doing here? Please advise.

Thanks
S:cry:

Update:

Finally found the meta_tags.php file. For the HostPapa / Monster Template Theme 25879 install, it was found in "includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php"

However, after editing the meta_tags file according to the directions in the original tutorial, the favicon still does not display in IE.

Editing the tpl_header.php file only places the two lines of favicon reference in the BODY tag not in the HEADER tag.

Does anyone have a solution to this?

Thanks :frusty:

I notice you didn't get a response to your problem. That's too bad. I'm having the same problem getting my favicon to work as well. After creating it with a favicon service, I uploaded it to my root directory, but no go. What am I doing wrong.

never mind, it started to work. As it says, I just put the favicon in the root, but then I cleared cache after restarting browser.

Same here working with Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, but not IE8... evrey problems happen under IE8 .. BLEH :)

i have read up a lot and finally it works for IE8!

type https://www.yourdomain.com/favicon.ico in your browser, then it will immediately show! :clap:

But that only shows the favicon, not with your site.

I simply dropped it in the root, no editing of files, and it works fine in all three browsers.

Unless you have an animated favicon, right? How can you get ie to display the animated type ?
