NodeBB icon appears instead of actual favicon ?

[phenomlab]

Hi. Having seen the default NodeBB favicon whilst referencing my site, I thought I'd check with some random tools on the internet.

Some report it as "ok", whilst others show the below

Any ideas as to why ?

I even have this in the custom header, which it seems, is being ignored

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/assets/uploads/system/favicon.ico">

Thanks

@phenomlab we have exact the same problem since upgrading to 1.19.X

when I open our website on a browser, most of the time nodebb default icon appears as the favicon, it only changes after refreshing the page.

I have to mention that after the first upgrade we were only seeing Nodebb default favicon, the situation improved when I deleted our favicon from ACP and reupload it. However, we still see the default NodeBB icon most of the time...

Take a look at the favicon.ico files in your public folder.
There might be more than one.

public/favicon.ico & public/uploads/system/favicon.ico.

Make sure both are the image you want. Then restart nginx as it also caches the old image.

hmm, this might be the problem... It looks like one of them is correct (/assets/uploads/system/favicon.ico), the other is wrong... (/assets/favicon.ico)

how to change .../assets/favicon.ico?

You will have to update that file on the server or delete it.
