    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…

    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.

    @phenomlab oh no, that is 1 cent on the video, but you are right, symbols are similar… I just converted it to $1 , since it is more intuitive in daily life…

    @DownPW it’s possible, yes, but you may inadvertently end up targeting other elements using the same class which of course isn’t desired. Can you provide a link in DM for me to review?

    @eeeee said in restarting nodebb on boot: can I just run nodebb under nodemon for auto restarts? It’s a better method. Nodemon just looks for file system changes and would effectively die if the server was rebooted meaning you’d have to start it again anyway. Systemd is the defacto standard which is how the operating system interacts in terms of services, scheduled tasks etc.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php
