How to add favicon in Moodle sites
A tiny emblem called a favicon appears in front of the URL in your browser.
Moodle comes pre-installed with a default theme and favicon. Upload your own favicon.ico to replace the original one inside “/home/user/public_html/theme/standard/pix.” You must upload it under the directory that corresponds to the theme you have selected if you are not using the default theme.
The new favicon may not be noticable because the image may be in the browser cache. Moodle cached the old one.
Access Settings > Appearance > Themes > Theme settings > Theme designer mode check box and save. Refresh your browser. Uncheck the box after it works.
If you still face the same issue, find for a file which has content as below
<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=
Replace it with the absolute path OR the URL to the favicon.ico file.
OR
Browse through Favicon Wiki to know more about how exactly favicon works & utilities using which you can create favicon online.
