Have removed the default favicon and replaced with the favicon i need to display in my survey... But does not seem to be working.. Have included the code before </head>

script type="text/javascript" src="{TEMPLATEURL}template.js"></script>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="{TEMPLATEURL}favicon.ico" />

But does not seem to be changing... Have even removed these icons in the respective directory and replaced with the one I want.. No Luck.. Where Could I be going wrong.. Am using version 1.91+
Thanks..

Hello,

In general, favicon are in the cache for a lon long time.

Try with another browser.

Instructions on how to change the favicon can be found here: docs.limesurvey.org/The+template+editor&...splay_custom_favicon

You have to clear the browser cache so that the new icon is loaded and not the old one from the cache.

Its weird that my favicon gets displayed properly in Mozilla but even though have cleared cache in IE (actually each restart clears the cache) but the favicon remains the same....

As Shnoulle says, favicons are cached for a long time, particularly in IE, and not in the temporary internet files. It may take many restarts before you see the updated favicon in IE. Check it in IE on another computer.

Yep,

And even after clear the chache , check directly (and see) the new icon with mysqiteurl/favicon.ico : favicon in toolbar stay the old fav (with FF).

Have checked directly.. the favicon displayed on the page is the one i want.. But in the favicon place IE logo is seen... whereas in Mozilla this shows in both the places...

Thanks... Renuka

That is a browser issue, not a LimeSurvey problem.

Hmmm... So there is no option to get my favicon displayed...

Regards

You need to clear the cache from IE manually. Go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files and clear the favicon.ico. restart IE and it will work. The AppData folder is not visible. you need to enable the hidden folder.
