I have tried to change the favicon for the template using the the joomla wiki page – ie: deleting the old favicon.ico file and uploading a new favicon.ico file in its place. However it still shows the old one on the browser tab and yes I have tried refreshing and deleting browser history too to no avail….any ideas?

You can change upload “favicon.ico” into this folder below
<blockquote>templates/ja_elastica/images/</blockquote>

Hello!

I have the same issue since a couple of hours, I’m trying all ways you can imagine to change the favicon of the ja_elastica template, I tried to handle the code at many places; I replaced also the favicon.ico at many places without any result.

The joomla favicon.ico is still on the tab of the browser (yes, I delated also the browser cache many times).

I can not find it any way to remove it, I would be very gratufull if you could help me, thanks a lot in advance!

Best greetings,

Gracestone

You can try this way

Open templates/ja_elastica/blocks/head.php file
from

<link href="<?php echo T3Path::getUrl('images/favicon.ico') ?>" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
change to

<link href="<?php echo JURI::base(true)."/templates/".T3_ACTIVE_TEMPLATE."/images/favicon.ico";?>" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />

With path favicon: templates/ja_elastica/images/favicon.ico
