Favicon

How do I set my own favicon?

Adding a custom favicon is simple:

Create and place a favicon.ico file in the root (ie: “public_html” or “httpdocs” etc) directory of your web server, using your FTP program. Zen Cart provides one by default, so simply replacing that file is fine.

In most cases, that’s all you need to do !!!

The icon image file needs to be “square”, ideally a multiple of 48x48px, such as 48x48 or 96x96 or 132x132px.

NOTE: You will usually have to “bookmark” your store in your browser’s favorites in order for the favicon to be cached by the browser for display. Often pressing CTRL+D will quickly bookmark the page you’re currently viewing.

TIP: If your favicon is cached with an old/invalid image, you can fix that after uploading your replacement by simply clearing your browser’s cache.

Still have questions? Use the Search box in the upper right, or try the full list of FAQs. If you can't find it there, head over to the Zen Cart support forum and ask there in the appropriate subforum. In your post, please include your Zen Cart and PHP versions, and a link to your site.

Is there an error or omission on this page? Please post to General Questions on the support forum. Or, if you'd like to open a pull request, just review the guidelines and get started. You can even PR right here.
