So you have just chosen your new favicon, or even painstakingly created it using the latest .ICO file creator. The file size is correct, your friends and family love it – great! – now it’s time to make it live!
So, you go ahead and upload your favicon.ico file, you edit your web pages to point directly to it. Yet, when you visit your website, the Plesk favicon is still there? In fact, no matter what you do, you can only see the Plesk favicon!
This, is a local browser caching issue. You will find that if you visit your site from another PC which never visited your Plesk default homepage that your new super duper custom favicon will work perfectly.
Clear your browser cache and temporary internet files, perform a system reboot and that should do the trick.
