Magento 2.3: Not Able To Change Favicon Icon Through Admin

[Shiwani Miglani]

I need to change the favicon icon through admin.

Content -> configuration -> Edit custom theme
then add the icon in ‘HTML Head’ tab ‘Favicon Icon’ upload button, But it is not adding the icon.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hello @Shiwani Miglani 

Can you check on the browser console its showing error or not ?

Also, Icon is uploading or its not uploading ?

Also - Changing favicon from admin reflects in both frontend and admin end while changing it manually /app/design/frontend/<Vendor>/<Theme>/Magento_Theme/web/favicon.ico reflects only on front end.

Hope it helps !

Yes, it will be work when I do manually from the theme.

But I need to change from admin because I don't have theme files this time and I didn't get any error in console.

Thanks

Hi @Shiwani Miglani 

File Type is .ico right ? actually they have written below the upload icon notice - 

Not all browsers support all these formats!

So there might be a issue - can check the same on other browsers ?

Hello @Shiwani Miglani ,

File path : /vendor/magento/module-theme/view/adminhtml/ui_component/design_config_form.xml

Find and replace :

<field name="header_logo_src" formElement="fileUploader">

To

<field name="header_logo_src" formElement="imageUploader">

<field name="head_shortcut_icon" formElement="fileUploader">

To

<field name="head_shortcut_icon" formElement="imageUploader">

How to override the same path in the custom theme as I get the theme files access to me. Now I can edit the theme files. Please suggest for the same.

File path:/vendor/magento/module-theme/view/adminhtml/ui_component/design_config_form.xml

Hello @Shiwani Miglani ,

Yes, It is not right but it's a default issue on v2.3 and which is fixed now. So you can change in the core file. In future, if you are upgrading Magento then it will be replaced.
