    When I to google site on my browser, there are some icons of sites previously visited.

    I cant get the default nodeBB icon to change here, even though I uploaded a favicon.
    In the Admin menu, is this icon called something else?

    @cagatay It should be, yes. You don’t need any CSS though…

    @cagatay I too am confused still
    Although I saw the results of the favicon checker that phenomlab posted
    Im confused what dimension favicon will tick all the boxes
    It’s not made clear in Admin panel what to upload

    Hi Both,

    Can you please ensure that the favicon is present in both locations

    /path/to/nodebb/public/favicon.ico
    /path/to/nodebb/public/uploads/system/favicon.ico
    

    Then restart NodeBB? The files need to be present in both paths, and should be the below

    @Panda I’m aware that your site is hosted, so you are going to be at the mercy of NodeBB themselves here.

    @phenomlab yes, so this is a flaw then, if successful Favicon can’t be uploaded from the Admin panel?
    Worth me raising on NodeBB forum?

    @Panda It’s been raised multiple times, but only for the open source version, and not hosted.
