Custom Favicon Not Showing

PitaJ

When I look in Chromium, I see the incorrect NodeBB favicon

@baris I replaced the default favicon with our custom one and it appears that fixed the issue. I will continue to monitor it.

NOTE:

Haven't restarted & rebuilt the forums. I only replaced the favicon image in nodebb/public

EDIT:

I still see the default favicon on random refreshes of the page. The notification counts also is a hit or miss still. Also, when sharing post to external sites/apps, I'm still seeing the default nodebb favicon.

Did you restart nginx and nodebb after replacing the favicon? The icon is cached by nodebb so a restart is necessary.

@baris not yet. I will try it tonight and schedule a maintenance. We have a lot of active users at the moment.

I was able to restart nginx and nodebb (and rebuild) and the issue still persists. Any other ideas on how to fix it?

Behavior:

Go to forum home - you may or may not see the custom favicon
Go to any category
Go to any topic
Custom favicon should appear
When you navigate back to forum home or any other topics, the custom favicon persists.
Hit refresh, it reverts to default favicon

Which is odd because nodebb/public and nodebb/public/upload have the same favicons.

The issue seems to happening because of the touch icon being loaded and replacing the favicon I think.

Can you try uploading your custom touch icon as well?

Hi @baris, thank you for your suggestion. Our custom favicon is now showing consistently. It is very odd though. Is it suppose to fall back on touch icon, if favicon is somehow unavailable? I thought it was the other way around?

This might be hard for you to replicate, but do you know why the notification count does not show consistently? I have to go to a topic in order to load my notification count (on the bell icon). Once I go back to forum home, the notification count goes away.

I am facing the exact same issue. I have uploaded a 48x48 .ICO file but it's not showing up. I am on V3 NodeBB using Harmony.

By the way @Teemberland : How did you get all that text and logos at the bottom of the forum for your website? It's neat and I would like to have a similar setup also.

I could be mistaken but .ico favicons are considered fallbacks now, and if a touch icon or more hi-res icon is supplied (which NodeBB does, by default), then it will take precedence.

Have you tried uploading a larger image to the "Touch Icon" setting?

@mventures see https://sudonix.com/topic/447/nodebb-favicon-upload-issue/8 as you'd raised the same question on Sudonix.
