html - Favicon NOT working on Edge

Question

I have a problem with this favicon I generated for a local server php project. It works fine on most browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Opera) but on Microsoft Edge it doesn't work (It shows the default tab favicon).

I've tried many solutions to this problem like clearing the cache, using image format (.png) instead of icon (.ico), but nothing seemed to work.

Here are the lines of code that I've included in the HTML head:

<link rel="icon" href="<?php echo Yii::$app->request->baseUrl; ?>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo Yii::$app->request->baseUrl; ?>/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

Anyone had the same issue and solved it?

Answer 1

For me the problem was that on localhost it never worked in Edge. No matter what I did. It was always fine in Chrome and Firefox. The solution was that it only worked in Edge after I deployed to the webserver.
