    I have three blogs at, say,

    xyz.com
    subdomain1.xyz.com
    subdomain2.xyz.com

    I deleted the favicon in the root folder of xyz.com domain, copied it into:

    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/xyz.com
    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/subdomain1.xyz.com
    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/subdomain2.xyz.com

    The favicon doesn't appear for any of the three blogs. Could it be that I had earlier deleted the wp-hive folder (before i knew what it did) and had to recreate it empty? Did I accidentally delete a critical file?

    Edit: to be more precise, I deleted the favicon in the root folder of xyz.com domain, copied as such:

    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/xyz.com/favicon.ico
    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/subdomain1.xyz.com/favicon.ico
    xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/subdomain2.xyz.com/favicon.ico

    It appears that you do have it in the correct directory. Deleting it and recreating the folder should not make a difference.

    Do you have the plugin activated in each of the three blogs? (you must activate each independently)

    Do you get any error message or feedback when you request the file directory?

    Wp-hive was independently activated in all three blogs, and the directories are accessible from the internet (e.g., the pic appears if I go directly to xyz.com/wp-content/wp-hive/subdomain1.xyz.com/favicon.ico).

    Honestly, I have no idea what's wrong.

    Strange. Can you email me the website name you are working with? I'll do some troubleshooting on my end and see what I can come up with.

    Ok, I found a bug with the way favicon.ico is served. Working on a fix - will release it ASAP.

    Just fyi, while further editing various files my favicon started working all of a sudden for all three blogs. (I think it was something I did in style.css with a unforeseen incidental effect).

    Btw, my blogs are under construction and as it stands ugly and semi-functional... otherwise I'd gladly put up a link.

    - but work redirect
    domen.com/robots.txt -> domen.com/robots.txt/

    Hi,

    Thanks for the great plugin!

    I've got two blog/domains, removed favicon.ico from the root, put it into both wp-content/wp-hive/{domain-name}/, activated plugin in both blogs.
    Now,
    the main domain
    - does not display the favicon
    - returns 404 page for {domain}/favicon.ico
    - returns icon for {domain}/wp-content/wp-hive/{domain-name}/favicon.ico

    the second blog
    - DOES display the favicon
    - for {domain}/favicon.ico it returns an error "Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /home/{...}/wp-content/plugins/wp-hive/wp-hive.php on line 96"

    Maybe that'll give a clue :)

    I don't know if it is helpful, but another issue i had with these folders was the script created wp-content/wp-hive/ folder with an owner ID different than my own one with a hosting provider, so i couldn't upload any file there. I had to remove the folder and recreate it manually.

    Cheers,

    I made a mistake - sorry - I did not understand I needed to create a folder wp-hive in wp-content with the domains folders. I did that and get closer to a solution, but still does not work - I get the following error:Fatal error: Call to undefined function finfo_open() in /home/ordivisi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-hive/wp-hive.php on line 96
    When I do domain.com/favicon.ico

    Not solved, but I have found this: http://www.theopencompany.net/19/wordpress-plugin-wp-hive

    It seems that I need the php fileinfo extenrsion on my server.

    Regards

    I found out that fileinfo comes with php 5.0, and even then it needs to be included as a php extension. A lot of webservers don't support either.. My apologies.

    This bug will be fixed in the next version.
