 * Dear beautiful people. I love you all.
    Running Twenty Fourteen Theme: I have
   searched for days for solutions to this favicon mystery I have. It never appears.
   I only get this: “The image “[http://www.selfcharm.com/favicon.ico&#8221](http://www.selfcharm.com/favicon.ico&#8221);
   cannot be displayed because it contains errors.””
 * I’ve tried entering these codes individually:
    <link rel=”shortcut icon” href
   =”<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/favicon.ico” /> & <link rel=”
   shortcut icon” href=”/favicon.ico” type=”image/x-icon”>
 * into my header.php section under theme editor. It’s placed between <head> and
   </head>. Currently I have the “php echo get_” code saved.
 * I also copied the WordPress favicon from wordpress.com/favicon.ico and uploaded
   the .ico file into my file manager in cPanel under:
    WpContent-themes-twentyfourteen..-
   images.
 * The favicon.ico file is there. It’s been 2 days. I’ve cleared caches and used
   different browsers. Any idea what I could be missing? Thank you all so much for
   reading. I love you, though we’ve never met.<3
