Change favicon in DotNetNuke portal

Times have changed in the DotNetNuke world since this question was answered. Now, the favicon is much easier to change.

Go to Site Settings underneath the Admin menu, and scroll down to Appearance. There should be an option to upload a new icon, or use one currently on your site.


You need to place the favicon in each portal's own folder (Portals/0/favicon.ico). Make sure you delete the icon in the root of your website, as that will (supposedly) override any portal-specific favicons and apply to all portals.

Favicons are notorious for being very aggressively cached by the browser. Sometimes even clearing the cache doesn't even do the trick, it can drive you mad. Clear cache, shift-refresh etc etc...
