Load your site again, and it should show your favicon now, at least in the HTML source. It will end up in the files root directory of your default site. So if you have a theme A, a sub-theme of A called B and a sub-theme of B called C, go to admin/appearance/settings/c.Ĭlick 'Shortcut icon settings: Browse' and upload a custom favicon. Navigate to the settings screen admin/appearance/settings/theme-name of your 'most-sub-theme' applying to the page where you want your favicon to be in effect. Now that the 'blue drop' Drupal default favicon shows up again, let's configure your own one. Check the HTML source code, not what the browser shows, to prevent issues with the browser cache. If still no favicon shows up, do a drush cc all and check again.

If it is not accessible to the web server, Drupal will detect that and not even render a shortcut icon header entry.Ĭache clearing should not be necessary, but who knows. Make sure Drupal's default favicon is readable by your webserver user: visiting for your domain should show that icon. If neither this box is ticked nor a valid path entered into the 'Path to custom icon' field of the form whose settings 'win' the overwriting, Drupal will interpret this as 'do not show any favicon'. In all these forms, tick this setting and save the form. There is both a global 'Shortcut icon settings: Use the default shortcut icon.' setting at admin/appearance/settings and an equivalent one for each theme that can be enabled on that page. This is the first problem to solve – getting at least the default blue Drupal drop icon to show again. When I looked into the generated source code, I could not see neither my file nor the default drupal icon.

Just went through this Drupal favicon mess myself :) Hope this helps:
