Favicon not changing

Post by jimleeder123 » Wed Dec 03, 2014 12:18 pm

I have tried putting my 16x16 favicon.ico file in the root images folder, in the images/stories folder (virtuemart pics I think), template image folder and the root itself (httpdocs).

However my favicon is not changing. I made a png file 16x16 in Photoshop and saved as favicon.ico. However the favicon for my site is staying as the logo for my server's software - Plesk. Does this mean it has to be set somewhere on Plesk? Am I doing anything wrong?

Putting it in your Joomla root folder (same place as your configuration.php) should also do the trick (at least for me it works).
