    Hi all,
    I have successfully created favicons for our site but I'm having trouble getting them to work. I have read the directions posted here: https://support.socialengine.com/php/customer/en/portal/articles/1636877-creating-and-adding-a-favicon?b_id=14386

    I am able to connect through Filezilla to our folders, but I'm not sure where to upload the files to. I uploaded the favicon-16x16.png file to my public.html file and did a hard refresh to my browser and also navigated to the Appearance -->Theme Editor and clicked "Save Changes and refreshed again to no avail.

    Am I uploading the file to the wrong place? The directions highlighted in red so many places I wasn't sure.


    Any help greatly appreciated!

    It has to be favicon.ico not .png

    Hope this helps.
