Changing the Favicon Of Your Joomla Site

September 16, 2008 · Filed Under Joomla 

The favorite icon (commonly referred to as the favicon) is an image file that is 16×16 pixels, and is normally named favicon.ico.

You need to upload it to the template directory of the template that you are using. If you are using multiple templates you’ll need to upload it to different directories. If I were replacing the favicon in the Joomla! 1.5 default template Rhuk_Milkyway, You need to upload the favicon to: joomlaroot/templates/rhuk_milkyway/favicon.ico

Since your browser has already downloaded (cached) your old favicon, you probably won’t see the changed icon till you clear your cache and refresh (you may have to refresh multiple times before you see the changed icon).
