I didn't do anything, and yet it improved. After it didn't work yesterday, I finally turned my PC off and back on today. Everything seems fine now, except that it doesn't add the favicon to the front-page tab in MS Edge.

Hi,

If you have FTP access, please check the /img folder to ensure that your favicon has been successfully uploaded.

Let me know if you need help locating or updating it.

[Frits van Leeuwen]

I have in /img a file named favicon.ico

One more question: Where did you install PrestaShop? Is it running in a local environment or on a production server?

[Frits van Leeuwen]

On a production server.

[WebCommercify]

Please, can you share shop url?

[Frits van Leeuwen]

https://prestashop9.geschenkenlaantje.nl
It's a sub domain of geschenkenlaantje.nl (on PS 1.7.8.11)

Can you disable Maintenance Mode for a few minutes then clear cache?

[Frits van Leeuwen]

I really appreciate your help.
I've opened the store and cleared the cache.

But I don't see any differences.

[WebCommercify]

I will check it, please you just disable maintenance mode. Let me know when you do it.

[Frits van Leeuwen]

I've disabled the maintenance mode

[WebCommercify]

So strange, still i see website under maintenance.

[Frits van Leeuwen]

Misunderstanding. English isn't my strongest side. But hopefully the store is open now, and I've cleared the cache again.

Please, can you open head.tpl file (root folder/themes/your theme/ templates/_partials/head.tpl) and share codes of this file?

Okay, everything seems correct here. Please, now go to phpMyAdmin, choose related database, find "configuration" table and look for "favicon" keyword in NAME column.

[WebCommercify]

Understood. If it is possible i want to debug your PS files? Can you PM me some necessary credentials?

[WebCommercify]

The problem solved. It was in root/classes/controller/FrontController.php:1709

1) 'favicon' => self::configuredImageUrl('PS_STORES_ICON', $psImageUrl),

The mistake was here, just updated "PS_STORES_ICON" to correct key "PS_FAVICON". Then cleared cache. 

[Frits van Leeuwen]

I had send you a private message

Thank you verry much. It look perfect!

[WebCommercify]

Thank you for trusting me. Please rename topic, mark as "SOLVED".
