Hi silfam297, checked your site. When it comes to images in general you have to high resolution on almost all. Make your pages load really slow! For having the correct an optimized sizes make the resolution 72 dpi and the dimensions of the pics to the biggest size they shall be visible at, for ex: 720pxl x 360pxl. Set the resolution 72 dpi first and after the dimensions so it keeps the right resolution. Important make the resolution in "dpi" and the sizes in pixel. Correct naming for images: only lowercase and numbers, no spaces, no start with numbers, use underscore or hyphen for separate words and no spaces.
What comes to the favicon... have you named it "favicon.ico" and sized 16pxl x 16pxl at 72 dpi?
Is it inserted at the Page properties / Images and the correct fields for different sizes and formats on the "index" page.
Be sure to publish the pages with corrections and changes as "Publish all files"
Refresh and empty the browser cash before viewing.
If you follow this and it doesn't work I think you have a conflict.

I am getting a warning that multiple files are invalid file names. Is this part of the issue? What does this mean? What characters are not allowed in a file name?

Thank you! I cleared up the file name issues, corrected the .ico/png issues and still no luck with the tab icons, even though the sub pages icons show up. I am no longer receiving any publishing errors!

Seams you have not inserted the "favicon.ico" at the "index.html" page. Rightclick outside the workspace on index page and choose "Page properties".
In the tab "Icons" insert the favicons in right format and sizes. Publish all files, Clear cash and check again.

Think you have to provide a project file of the index page and stripped down. Just keep the related components...

Whell that's your internal links... can not be reached through internet. How's the favicon.ico file? 16pxl x 16 pxl, 72 dpi?

[silfam297]

yes that is the size

Have you checked in your root folder on the webserver that the "favicon.ico" is there?

Clear direction on how to get the favicon on the browser tab:

1. 16pxx16px the icon size and has to be in .ico (meaning icon format). If it is in jpg, jpeg, or png format then convert it from online or offile using software. Here is a place where you can convert https://www.icoconverter.com/ or https://convertio.co/png-ico/
2. Name that icon favicon or favicon16
4. On the pages properties go to "Icons" tab where you get to set different icons and then find the favicon.ico or favicon16.ico from your desktop and put it on the box where it says to give 16x16 icon.



Clear catch if possible delete all from webserver and clearly reupload everything and you will be sure to see favicon. Even I did it like that I have a favicon icon on my website. So I hope it works for you too.

And boom it's working. Might have taken some time to propagate through the servers? Anyhow it's working! Thanks to all for your suggestions and assistance.
