set personal favicon

[wonderfulxue]

Hi,

How can I set my personal favicon?
I cannot find where to configure, and I didn't see the instruction in documentation.

From the docs

Website icon
Save your desktop and mobile icons as square PNG images named icon-32.png (32x32 pixels), icon-192.png (192x192 pixels), and icon-512.png (512x512 pixels) respectively. Place them in your root static/img/ folder.

Note that, according to the docs, putting icon-*.png icons in /static/img/ is only relevant for versions prior to v4.7. For more recent versions, I had success putting a 512x512 icon file named icon.png in /themes/academic/assets/images/.

but then this breaks the law of modifying the theme directly , how did you check-in the modifications made for the themes folder without modifying it ?

@salecharohit just put the icon.png file to assets/images in your hugo root. No need to modify the theme.

Is it normal that I see the icon in the safari tab on my iPhone, but not on my Mac? Any suggestion about that?

Putting a 512 by 512 icon.png in root assets/images isn't working for me... any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Just followed this:
https://wowchemy.com/docs/getting-started/customization/#website-icon

@yemam3 apparently the folder name has changed to assets/media in 5.0.0 (at least that works for me), although it seems the doc is not up-to-date

[yemam3]

That worked like a charm! Thanks @dkales!

[yemam3]

Ok one more question, so it seems the favicon doesn't change in safari, is there a way to fix that?

[yangchen2]

Thank you all! @yemam3 It worked when I cleared my browsing history!

[yemam3]

Aaah awesome! Thank you! :-)
