Favicon: need help with 404

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner is experiencing a 404 error for their favicon on some themes while it displays correctly on others. The browser console shows a 404 error for favicon.ico, though the network tab indicates favicon.png loads successfully with a 200 status.

Troubleshooting attempts:

  • Added favicon in both PNG and ICO formats to assets folder
  • Tried multiple CDN link variations in layout.theme.liquid
  • Configured favicon through theme customization settings
  • Tested different link formats individually (not simultaneously)

Key technical issue: The theme code contains multiple favicon links, and the .ico file appears broken despite being present in assets. There’s uncertainty about Shopify’s support for ICO format.

Current status: Avada support suggested removing redundant favicon links but recommended contacting the theme provider for deeper investigation. SEOAnt support confirmed the favicon isn’t displaying and suggested using the theme’s built-in favicon settings or their SEO app for code-level assistance. The issue remains unresolved.

Hi @MariasQuestions

I’m afraid that we can’t investigate it further, you should contact the theme provider for further information about it.

Hope you can kindly understand. Thank you!

Best,
