INTERNET MARKETING

I posted this plea for help in the programming forum, but as yet have had no response..maybe someone here knows the answer?

I recently changed my hosting back to hostgator and having done so, I am becoming increasingly irritated by the hostgator favicon which appears on all my html pages outside of my wordpress site.

ie external landing pages and sales pages.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to find and replace this little gator.

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to solve this through hostgator support if they're hosting your sales pages and landing pages. You can chat with them online and they'll help you through. You can also call them. It should be a quick fix.

Have you tried a plugin like All In One Favicon?

Also, two seconds of Googling came up with

The problem is html pages outside of wordpress..... so I don't think a plugin will work for these .. Hostgator support .well! I have been trying, lets just say that.

Thanks for the links though, I will explore those.

Update: Problem fixed - Talk about none so blind as those who won't see lol ...... staring me in the face all the time, I searched the root directory countless times ..just didn't see it

.deleted the offending favicon and uploaded my own.
Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks

For anyone else who sees this, you simply put:

<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http://example.com/myicon.png">

And you can find really nice, free and cheap, favicons and small images on https://www.iconfinder.com/

Nowadays I would use css or the plugin I mentioned. Also, many custom themes have an option for the favicon in their settings.
