Favicon change

Posted in: Newspaper

Recently we changed the domain name of our website. The site is still on the same server, the only thing that changed is the primary domain. The domain has been updated in phpAdmin and WordPress. However, there is one problem that I can’t seem to resolve. When I upload a new Favicon and save it the old Favicon still displays in the browser. I have checked it on multiple computers and cleared the cache. Is there something I am missing?

The browser will cache it pretty agressively.

Make sure you delete old favicon files in your root folder, then go to your site and refresh browser. Delete browser cache, obviously (history, in chrome).

Upload new favicon.ico and Apple precomposed files to your web root.

Make sure none is specified in the theme panel when you do switcheroo, obviously. Make sure one is NOT in the media folder.

Usually works. Went through this recently myself, actually. Had to reinstall site after server crash, from backups, and the default Plesk icon was stuck there for a bit.
