The behaviour seen in this thread (logo visible only after copying the images into the subfolder) is a classic path-resolution issue, not a browser bug. As found, duplicating the images makes the browser find the file relative to the subfolder, but that’s a workaround that masks the underlying template/path-construction problem. ’s suggestion to open the image URL directly and ’s observation about backslashes point toward two useful diagnostics: confirm the final src value in the page source and verify the server actually returns the image (Network tab / open-in-new-tab).

Common troubleshooting steps and quick checks:

  • Inspect the rendered <img> src in the browser’s “View Source” (or Elements) and open that URL directly to observe the HTTP status.
  • Check for a <base href="..."> in the document head or for a configuration constant that may already contain the full domain; doubling can happen when a full URL is concatenated onto another full URL.
  • Confirm the file exists on disk from the webroot; a server-side existence check removes guesswork. Example PHP pattern (adjust the path to match the server layout):
$fs = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . '/static/logo.png';
if (file_exists($fs)) {
  echo '<img src="/static/logo.png" alt="site logo">';
} else {
  error_log("Missing logo: $fs");
}

Likely causes of the “double-domain” or odd slashes: a base/config value already containing the protocol+host that gets prepended again, string concatenation with stray backslashes, or an incorrectly set <base> tag. A robust fix is to centralize the asset URL, trim trailing slashes, and use root-relative paths for static assets. Example safe concatenation:

$base = rtrim(BASE_URL, '/');
echo $base . '/static/logo.png';

Copying the images into the subfolder works but creates duplication and maintenance overhead. The durable solution is to fix the path generation (or use a single, well-defined base URL) and confirm via browser devtools that the final src is reachable and returns 200 OK.

Can you open the logo link directly from the browser address bar? For example:

What is the value of SITE_FAVICON?
