I have noticed that a lot of people have problems seeing their changed favicon right away even if they refresh the cache x times. What I found out was: If I access the favicon.ico file directly in my browser, and then refresh it with - it will do the trick. I don't refresh the cache anymore...just access my favicon file directly... That's it. It works at least in FF. - TJ Abrahamsen Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:06:12 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1910 Brendan and Joy - IE will only show favicons once the site has been bookmarked. It's a weird IE caching thing. Yet another reason why I hate IE. ;D - Kate Vickers Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:22:08 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1909 This is amusing to me because I love accidentally finding Joomla sites that I didn't know about all because the developer forgot to change the Favicon. I came accross a very professional looking Joomla site the other day for a drywall company and the favicon was the standard Joomla favicon. It made me smile and also made me look at the site a lot longer than I would have simply because it was Joomla. Silly, I know. - Kate Vickers Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:19:17 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1891 I cant find favicon in my template..currently using templatka 10.plz help me cory :'( - abcdeg Tue, 03 Nov 2009 00:13:08 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1807 Hi there, I uploaded my favicon to my template root(s) and inserted the to index.php My favicon only shows in Firefox, IE shows the explorer icon and sometimes I just get the white "paper" icon the is mentioned in another post. How can I make it work each and every time in all browsers? Also I wonder where the joomla icon file is stored in Joomla 1.5 ? It would be logical to replace this with my own icon, like in Joomla 1.0. Thanks for helping out here. /Joy - Joy Nielsen Sat, 10 Oct 2009 07:24:41 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1694 Hi, i read the article on changing the favicon and i have followed the instructions , it changed the icon on my 'admin' page but not on the actual 'web' page.. i have a blank white 'paper' icon ... how do i change this - Brendan Thu, 03 Sep 2009 17:19:16 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1666 Thanks.. its work on my website ... - syntakz Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:00:10 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/20090210102/how-tos/miscellaneous/how-to-change-your-favicon-joomla-15#comment-1653 this very simple... just look at the index.php file in ur theme folder and change the favicon..

Where do I do that? I would assume the favicon.ico name is set somewhere in a file somewhere in the template's folder? Any idea which file that is?
