I do realize there's 50 other questions like this, but nothing works for some reason. All links below are to the actual site in question to keep everything as clear as possible.
I uploaded my favicon here:
http://fantasy-premier.com/favicon.ico
Uploading the icon to the home directory used to be enough for it to show up in most browsers, but not anymore it seems. So I took the advice of some SO answers and put this in the header, first with a relative path but now with an absolute one to make sure I'm hitting the right URL (because there's a lot of .htaccess SEO action on the site):
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="//www.fantasy-premier.com/favicon.ico"/>
I tried using http:// but switched to // to make sure it's not an issue with https. I then saw a different answer and switched to
<link rel="icon" href="//www.fantasy-premier.com/favicon.ico"/>
Still nothing. It's been about 3 days of attempts now, this last version has been on the site for more than 24 hours, so it's certainly not a case of "wait a while or clear the cache". Speaking of which, I have cleared the cache and tried different browsers. So, how do I get this icon to finally show up?
I can see the favicon using Google Chrome 36, but maybe you should try to convert the .ico to .png and then follow the W3 guide:
