wordpress favicon not working properly on all browsers

try adding type=”image/png” in the link definition.

Additionally Chrome is a little bit harder to clean the favicon cache (needs also a restart)

This thread can help you perhaps, there are several hints there

The other thing is, I remember have read somewhere, that it is best practice to have the favicons in the root folder, not the wp-content/uploads/ folder
