How do I change the favicon in Joomla?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 7:38 am

Changing the favicon in Joomla can be done in a few simple steps. First, go to the Site Manager and select the Site Settings tab.

Locate the Favicon folder and click on the Edit link next to it. This will open the Favicon editor.

To change the favicon, first upload your new favicon file. Once uploaded, click on the Select File button and browse to the file on your computer.

PRO TIP: The favicon is a file called favicon.ico and it should be placed in the root directory of your Joomla installation. If you have placed it elsewhere, move it to the root directory.

Joomla will then display the file size and location. Click on the Choose button and Joomla will open the Favicon editor.

Next, click on the Favicon button and select the new favicon from the file selection menu. Joomla will then preview the new favicon and save the changes to the site.

Finally, hit the Save button to finish.
