Thanks a lot for explaining the favicon.ico to a T or step by step. ME... I am very new at building web site and for some reason no one I mean no one is telling you what to do step by step and what will be the resoults. Now I have a little question..... how long does it take before I see the favicon change to my logo I uploaded?????? but thanks again it was easy!!!! ;D - Mike Cross Wed, 25 Jun 2008 18:59:31 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-818 With Joomla 1.5, be sure to delete default favicon.ico completely. With most Joomla installs there are permissions issues, so if you can log-in as root or manually delete via cpanel or something before uploading the new icon that is best. I was having an issue where my new favicon was showing, but then on every re-load it was switching back to the default joomla favicon and then re-loading my new one. After getting around the permissions issue and deleting the old ones, now it works great! - Joel-B Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:00:42 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-792 Thanks, Cory! You were absolutely right! I was able to copy/paste the appropriate information and get the favicon to show. - Mark Tue, 13 May 2008 15:39:49 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-791 Hi Mark, The template you are using does not reference the favicon. In a Joomla 1.0.x template, there is a php command that should go between the "HEAD" tags called "mosShowHead()", and it appears the template you are using does not have that. - Cory Tue, 13 May 2008 07:49:42 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-789 This is a joomla! 1.0.13 site... Hmm... My favicon shows when I log in as admin... and it showed in a template I used to use. I just installed a new template, and no favicon... Not even the joomla default fav icon. What in the template could prevent the favicon from showing? Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. My favicon: http://pack162ct.org/cms/images/favicon.ico - Mark Tue, 13 May 2008 04:28:19 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-784 Good site but could u fix your rss feed ;D - Andrej Thu, 08 May 2008 22:53:26 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-779 Hi Neeraj, you probably need to clear your browser's cache in order to see the new favicon. - Cory Tue, 06 May 2008 08:50:35 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-778 I have made favicon icon according to your topic but it is not working properly give me advise - neeraj Tue, 06 May 2008 04:50:38 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-753 Ash Nallawalla hit the nail on the head. The trouble with the favicon that doesn’t want to go away (J 1.5) is in the cached data. - Casey Carnnia Tue, 08 Apr 2008 13:03:29 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-752 for me on joomla 1.5.1 the favicon only works when i put www. in front of my web name when i don't add www. joomla favicon shows up can you help me with this plzz its driving crazy - ken Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:19:52 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-747 Dynamic Drive has a cool favicon generator. It allows you to make transparent ones too.. How do i clean an old favicon from my cache when i update it to a new one? I just emptied my temporary files but IE7 is still showing up the old one. Any ideas? - Adaptiv Media Mon, 31 Mar 2008 14:00:35 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-744 In 1.5.2, the favicon is in your template folder. - Cory Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:44:18 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-742 Hi, I have Joomla v.1.5.2, I have looked and looked for this favicon file everywhere! I still can't seem to find it. If anyone can help me please do so. I really need it. :( -Roman - Roman Thu, 27 Mar 2008 17:17:06 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-729 No need to clear the cache, as you will delete more than you need to. Just load the new favicon by viewing it in your browser, e.g. in mine it is http://www.trainsem.com/images/favicon.ico. This will replace the version in the cache and you are all set. - Ash Nallawalla Fri, 14 Mar 2008 22:37:10 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-719 I'm in the middle of Transferring my old-school html site to a new joomla one, and it was taking me forever to find where the favicon goes. I thought it always had to be in the main site folder, not images, but there you go. Ok, now it's time to play with components......

For Firefox, click Tools -> Clear Private Data, then make sure the "Cache" box is checked, and click the Clear Private Data button. - Cory Tue, 29 Jan 2008 20:09:52 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/65/10/#comment-677 Hey, just wondering . lol how do you clear your browsers cache? thanks ;D - Casi Tue, 29 Jan 2008 19:55:12 +0100
