In Wordpress, go to your Editor for the theme and open the header.php file
there will be a line towards the top, within the <HEAD>, that is LINK REL and points to your favicon. You can hardcode it from there

See, I tried that because that's only way I know how to change a favicon, but the code isn't even there. Here's my header.php code:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" /> <!-- leave this for stats -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="<?php bloginfo('rss_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" />
<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />
<?php wp_get_archives('type=monthly&format=link'); ?>
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body>
<div id="page">
<div id="header">
<ul>
<?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&sort_column=ID&title_li='); ?>
</ul>
<h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
</div>They really are irritating sometimes!

It's theme dependent. I was surprised that the coder of my theme put the favicon in the admin directory, which is locked down like fort knox. It would not display for anyone other than me because of IP restrictions.
I'll keep trying and let you guys know if a solution comes about. Let me know if you can think of anything else!

I would advice you not to rely on plugin for everything which isn't good for many reasons. Try doing these simple things manually which help you to learn.
I second that . You should edit your header.php with dreamweaver and find something like the following :
Code:
link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="http://xxxxxxxxx.com/wp-content/themes/xxxxx/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />you can either delete it or edit it . Hope i helped !

I tried and had to resort to a plugin, but you are correct, it's best to learn by doing manually.
Thanks for the suggestion but as I stated in an earlier post, that line of code wasn't even in the code to begin with lol.
Yeah it's all set now but what I've noticed now is that the old one I was trying to delete earlier is still on the inner pages. What a headache. I'm hiring a professional.
