In this tutorial I am going to teach you how to install a Favicon to your website in vBulletin.
First off what is a Favicon?
Lets get started:
What you will need:
2nd. Log in to your FTP account using Filezilla (or your preferred FTP client), make sure you enter all your details including the user name and password provided by your host or you won't log in successfully. Now locate the public_HTML folder (should be on the "Remote Site" section on your FTP) and open it. Now within the folder locate the folder where you installed vBulletin. Once located, drag and drop your favicon into that folder. Now refresh your public_HTML folder by double clicking it and you should be done. Your Favicon should now show on your website.
**If for some reason that didn't work try the following:
(Make sure you have your Favicon in your vBulletin folder or else it will fail!)
1st. Log in into your vBulletin AdminCP.
2nd. Now navigate to Styles and Templates - Style Manger
3rd. Now select which style you would like to add the favicon and select Common Templates from the drop down menu, here is a picture to guide you:
Once there, navigate to headinclude and find the following: <!-- CSS Stylesheet -->
Once found, make a space on the bottom of that line and insert this:
In the part where it says "favicon.ico" rename it to the file name of your favicon. If you didn't rename your favicon and left it as favicon.ico then don't change nothing and leave it alone. Here is a picture for a guide:
Finally, scroll down and click on the save button and that should be it. Hope this helps
