I'm clicking "add an article or blog post you’ve written" on my Careers profile, and adding a URL such as:

http://www.websightdesigns.com/posts/view/how-to-set-up-a-local-web-server-with-homebrew-on-mac-os-x-10-9

However, after I click "Get Article" I see a broken image for the icon.

When I inspect the element of this broken image, it shows the following code:

<img alt="" class="favicon" src="http://www.websightdesigns.com/posts/view/how-to-set-up-a-local-web-server-with-homebrew-on-mac-os-x-10-9/favicon.ico">

Here are the entire contents of the document's <head> tag:

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.websightdesigns.com/">
</head>

As you can see, the only line in the <head> tag that mentions favicon.ico is:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico">

Am I missing something, or this an bug in Careers Profiles?

I typically don't have any issues showing the favicon when posting articles to Facebook, for example.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

Thanks for reporting. This is a legitimate bug. We weren't properly handling absolute favicon URLs. Should be all patched up now - try adding the article again. Let us know if you continue experiencing unexpected behavior.

  • Are you sure this is working? I've added some blog posts to my CV and no favicon is showing. My problem is the same. The broken URL is zanon.io/posts/building-serverless-websites-on-aws-tutorial/… It should look for zanon.io/favicon.ico instead.

  • This feature works for me in Chrome. If it is not working for you, please provide the details in a new post, including browser version, OS, exact URL of the page causing the problem, and exact URL of the blog URL.

  • It's working now! I've changed my favicon path from "/favicon.ico" to "zanon.io/favicon.ico" and removed/added again and worked. Ty!
