Hi all,
I’m managing a Discourse multisite setup with many sites on the same server. For branding consistency, I want to use .ico
favicons (32x32) for both the main job sites and their forums.
I’ve uploaded the same .ico
favicon to both the main sites and forums — however, when I check Google search results:
- The main sites show a 16x16 favicon icon (PNG or
.ico
?), as expected. - The forums show a larger 26x26 PNG icon, even though the favicon is the same
.ico
file.
I suspect Discourse is injecting its default PNG favicon separately, which might cause Google and browsers to pick different favicon versions between main site and forum.
My questions:
- How can I properly use
.ico
favicon files in Discourse? - How can I fully override or disable the default Discourse PNG favicon so only my
.ico
favicon is used? - Could this favicon inconsistency affect SEO or Google search results? How to fix it?
- Any best practices to ensure consistent favicon display across all multisite forums and main sites?
I’m also looking for a solution a multisite discourse setup.
Thanks for your help!
