    So it automatically adds a ClassiPress default favicon but you can easily change it. Just replace the favicon.ico image in your /classipress/images/ folder and it will work. Might need to clear your browsers' cache before you will see the update, however.

    Problem with adding Favicon

    I apologise for bringing this issue up again.
    But I still do not know where and how exactly to change or add my favicon after I designed one.
    Can it be make like weebly.com where it is in the setting section,and we can just upload our favicon design and simply click and change?
    I am no technical person like all the seniors here.Hope you can understand.

    There is no click and change, you have to upload favicon.ico to the images forlder as David said and it will repalce the actual favicon.ico of classipress.
    Maybe you have not created the favicon.ico properly? In Photoshop you would need a special plugin..

    so where is this "image folder"? which template of the Appearance Editor must I find it from? I am no techie guys,and I believe a simple function like a click and change of Favicon should be make easier.If weebly can do it,why not Appthemes?

    This matter is quite simple and well explained. Just dedicate a bit of time because we are just talking about uploading one single file. 16x16 px .png or .ico

    I got an issue with my favicon too

    I created a .ico favicon and uploaded it to "/public_html/mywebsitename.com/wp-content/themes/classipress1/images" replacing the favicon that was already there

    The favicon didnt appear so after searching the forums I added this code to header.php between the <head> and </head> tags:

    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/favicon.ico" />

    I also cleared cookies and cache and refreshed loads of times but the favicon that shows up is still the classipress one.

    Suggestions please...

    I haven't tried but if you call classipress folder as classipress1 you may have some problems.

    Then if you add between <head> and </head> this code it should work:
    <link href="/wp-content/themes/classipress/images/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
    You could then remove the lines:
    <?php if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.'/images/favicon.ico')) : ?>
    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
    <?php endif; ?>

    Just as an update, I took out the '1' from the classipress title. This broke my site and I was unable to view any page. I replaced the 1 and it went back to normal...

    I then didnt get a chance to work on my site and try Jakuucom's other suggestions. Miraculously the day after my favicon was showing (and is still there!). Thats despite clearing cookies, cache and even my history after every change I made (and refreshing an hour after the last change).... strange but it works so im happy (for now!)
