unable to overwrite the favicon.ico

JOduMonT commented 3 years ago

As usual, I created a favicon.ico which contains 3 layers with GIMP and I saved it inside ./static/images/ with favicon.png and favicon.svg

While favicon.svg and favicon.png superseed Syna logo, favicon.ico doesn't.

I tried

in private mode with Brave and Firefox, to be sure it is not cached by the browser
hugo server --ignoreCache
hugo server --disableFastRender
rename everything favicon. to logo. and adjust the name in config.toml

all these attempts failed.

Environment:

Syna Theme Starter version: version = "0.17.3"
Hugo version: Hugo Static Site Generator v0.75.1-A4A7BAB7/extended linux/amd64 BuildDate: 2020-09-15T06:57:20Z
Others: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Brave and Firefox

PS: I also opened the issue here, please tell me where it is the best to follow ;)

Try adding the favicon.ico in static/. Assumption would be that the browser looks at the default location aka the root of the page and not the location the header describes. Might be a good documentation item to add, if it works.

@stp-ip thank for your light,

Ah missed that your files were in static/images. They need to be in static/ or referenced as images/favicon.ico in the config.
