Change favicon in DotNetNuke portal

+1 A:

Have you tried clearing your browser cache? Or try using a browser on a different machine or just a different browser (FF versus IE for isntance). The favicon will cache and drive you crazy when it actually has changed.

The other thing to check is to see if you have more than one portal running on your DNN instance. If you have more than one portal, you can do a different favicon for each portal by putting the favicon in portal root and not the main web root.

Thanks. Yes, I tried that. Didn't work. Other ideas?

Make sure to fully close out your browser after clearing the cache.

You need to place the favicon in each portal's own folder (Portals/0/favicon.ico). Make sure you delete the icon in the root of your website, as that will (supposedly) override any portal-specific favicons and apply to all portals.

Have a look here as well: http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/108/threadid/183454/scope/posts/threadpage/3/Default.aspx.

That did it. Delete the favicon in the root directory. Then place a favicon.ico file in root/Portals/X (where X is the portal number, 0, 1, 2, whatever).Problem solved.

the favicon in the root will not override the portal icons - it is the fall back

Favicons are notorious for being very aggressively cached by the browser. Sometimes even clearing the cache doesn't even do the trick, it can drive you mad. Clear cache, shift-refresh etc etc...
