adding a favicon phpbb 3.3.8

Post by prodevpress »

hello,

i'm not a newbie so i know how to google etc.

the challenge i am having is finding current info for the current version
rather than posts from 2014-2017 as it seems quite a bit changes in each release.

i've added favicon.ico to the root folder as per the best advice i can find online but it doesn't
appear to work for 3.3.8

anybody know if the best way to do this now?

Adding a favicon

perhaps after adding you forgot to purge browser cache?

(you can test this by trying a different browser)
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

The placing or installation of a favicon is nothing to do with phpBB or what version it is it’s a web standard as described in the “Basic Implementation” part of the KB linked to and has been like that for many years.
