Question Uploaded favicon not loading

[Dave W]

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux 8.6 x86_64

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.45.2

Uploaded a favicon.ico to /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs but its not showing on the pages, so I noticed that the favicon is now a vectorgraphics file at /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/images/favicon.svg

Will this persist through updates?

Hello @Dave W !

You can use this documentation - branding: Custom Page Title, Logo, and Favicon
Now you need 2 types of favicon - .svg and .ico

And yes, it will persist after updates.

Thanks for that, didnt realise it had changed.

hmm

branding: Custom Page Title, Logo, and Favicon

The branding utility is used for setting up your own branding for Plesk by modifying the page title and logo. See mor...

docs.plesk.com

Tried this, no workee

So $PRODUCT_ROOT I assume is for Windows because this is not set on Linux.

Also the favicon the page is looking for is favicon.ico not favicon.custom.ico

Changing the name of favicon.custom.ico to favicon.ico results in the new favicon displayed.

This leads me to thinking it will get overwritten in a future update.

 

[Dave W]

Anyone else tried the plesk doc for favicon configuration?

 

[Kaspar]

You can set custom favicons trough the Plesk GUI (Tool & Settings > Branding) now. Requires both an ICO and SVG file trough.

Hi Kaspar,
Yeah, spotted that, not feasible for multiple servers though. I can upload the images as favicon.ico and favicon.svg overwriting the Plesk versions. But I fear they will get overwritten on updates.

BTW, here is the explanation of why this is done so: Issue - Please limit favicon setting to a normal favicon.ico, do not require .svg version
