Do you know favicon? Favicon is icon in your browser’s location bar. If someone bookmarks your website (ie puts it in their “Favorite” menu), it associates a particular icon with your website in the bookmark.

Now, I will give you some tips to change the site favicon in your joomla CMS framework.

  1. Create a 16×16 pixel image. You may use graphic software such as Photoshop, Windows Paint or you can search it from google search engine.
  2. Convert to ico format using free online sites such as converticon.com, favicongenerator.com, favicon.cc.
  3. The file you created in this way will have the extension “.ico”. Upload the file to the /joomla/templates/<your template> hosting directory and name it favicon.ico
  4. Open a browser. Do you see your new icon? If so, congratulations.
  5. If this doesn’t work you will need to delete the temporary internet files and the history and then open your page again.
