it sounds so silly but for some reason i’ve been hitting a wall in terms of changing my favicon on my OC pages since it defaults back to the root .ico i have in my folder, despite me setting up a link to a different favicon (even using a direct link to where the favicon is on my site didn’t work … maybe i need to put it in filegarden and link it at this rate or something)
i dunno if it’s me being dumb with how favicons work (if they need to be in the same folder or only nested one in), or something weird
<link ref="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="../Images/OC%20Stuff/Yadyra/favicon.ico" />
like idk why i’m insane and this doesn’t work cause all other links to that folder work (since all my images reference that folder), and it’s why i’m presuming it has something to do with the folder structure … (maybe im gonna be annoyed enough to overhaul my entire OC folder to have a folder for each OC, and all the images in there + their own index files + the .ico file just directly in there >_>
Shouldn’t it be <link rel="icon"? You’ve got ref instead of rel, which is probably a typo.

Yeah, it should be <link rel="icon". I managed to set page-specific favicons of the shrines on my website with <link rel="icon", and the favicon image does not need to be in the same folder as the web pages.

somehow i would not be surprised if it’s that single typo that mucked it up completely (average issue when i code anything and rel and ref look too similar to my eyes), i might’ve been leftovers from a different code that was using rel and ref and the wrong one got nuked 
i’ll give that a shot when im back to my laptop, and cry sadly in a corner if that’s the answer LOL (by that i mean thank you for catching the typo)
edit: yeah that fixed it LMAOOO thank you so much, i’ll have to keep that hiccup in mind next time i do any favicon stuff cause that similarities between f and l made me skim over the error

I don’t know where you write code, but monospace typefaces typically make the letters f and l look different enough, so if you haven’t done so already, you may want to code in a monospace typeface to have an easier time telling the letters apart.
(My personal favourite monospace typeface is Intel One Mono, which is specifically designed for low-vision people, so I appreciate it as a visually impaired person myself)

I use Phoenix Coding for my coding environment, which has Source Code Pro as its primary font that does have a difference between f and l, but i’ll give Intel One a shot and maybe boost the font size up a bit!! sadly i’m also a skimmer when reading so single letter differences i can also miss very easily especially when it’s at the end 
And you probably just needed another set of eyes on the code, because one can become completely blind to a mistake if one overlooks it often enough. It’s happened to me, too.
I’m just glad it was something simple and easily solved.
