Change favicon in DotNetNuke portal


I'm managing several DotNetNuke portals (as well as the main hosting itself). All of the portals have the default DNN icon in the address and when they're bookmarked. I want to have a custom favicon.!

It's the icon on the left side of this: DNN icon
(source: dotnetnuke.com)

I've tried clobbering the default favicon.ico file in the root directory (where the web.config file is located). I've deleted, I've replaced, I've restarted the browser, I've bounced IIS. None of that works.

Has anyone come across a solution for the wonky favicon problem in DNN?


Solution

  • You need to place the favicon in each portal's own folder (Portals/0/favicon.ico). Make sure you delete the icon in the root of your website, as that will (supposedly) override any portal-specific favicons and apply to all portals.
