How do I delete Tumblr's default favicon

In my custom theme, I've just deleted this line:

<link rel="icon" href="{Favicon}"/>

But tumblr's default favicon kept appearing. I presume it's because it's stored in image/favicon.ico path, but I had no way to remove it. Is there any other way to remove it completely?

Solution

  • Since you have deleted the <link rel="icon" href="whatever"/> line from your custom theme, the default favicon was loaded.

    I don't know about Tumblr, but the solution is not to remove the line that adds the favicon in your custom theme. Try the following instead.

    Put this line of code instead of the line that you removed from your custom theme :

    <link rel="icon" href=""/>

    You must be able to display your custom favicon (in case there is one) by simply giving the path to it in the href attribute. For example, if you had a favicon called myFavicon.ico in the root folder, then your href attribute will be href="myFavicon.ico".

    Hope this helps, and that it works.
