Define the base url in /config/site.php by adding this line of code to it and saving the file.

define('BASE_URL', 'http://saintstephenofhungary.net');

is that /config in the root directory or in the concrete directory? The one in the concrete directory does not have a /site.php file while the /config in the root directory does. I ask because I added the code to this file to no avail. Should I copy the /site.php file to /concrete/config?

Thanks for your help!

Note: using default theme Greek Yogurt; concrete5.5.1

This is /config/site.php in the root.

If you set your base url as described, it will not allow www. to load.

It will forcehttp://saintstephenofhungary.net... with no www.

I added the string of code provided verbatim to the file /config/site.php to no avail.

why does my favicon work only when the address bar url reads without "www." prefix.

Try it: visit SaintStephenOfHungary.net

then add the "www." and watch the favicon disappear.

ideas?. . . anyone?

Its because how the favicon.ico is linked.

Upload your favicon.ico to your themes image directory.

Next add this line of code to your header.php file and save it

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $this->getThemePath()?>/images/favicon.ico">

If you view your source code with no www. you see this

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/files/5413/3255/1656/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="icon" href="/files/5413/3255/1656/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

with www. added it looks like this

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/files/" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="icon" href="/files/" type="image/x-icon" />

This is why I first suggested you to set your base url.

OK - thank you so much for your input here. I will try this later and will be sure to post either way. Doing graphics editing right now, will delve into the server later. Thanks again.
