Hi guys, just wondering how to install a new favicon for my site to replace the default Joomla one. Also it would be good to change the tab text from ‘Welcome to the Frontpage’ to welcome to mysite.

Yes a complete newbie here!

Thanks,

Philip

Hi philipandrews !
– To Change the favicon , you must replace favicon.ico file in templates/ folder .
– To change page title you go to admin >> mainmenu >> select Home item , on right panel at last tab please change value of page title textbox.

I maybe wrong but you can put a favicon in your site root as well. Remember to clear your cache and hold Ctrl + F5 to refresh the pages.

But since the favicon is an ico file, can you use a png?
Do you also have to change it somewhere in the code?

it needs to be a .ico file

you can make your master graphic a png, but then you need to convert it to ico

if you google favicon you will find free online file converters
