I have two portals, both with unique favicon.ico files in their base (eg: 0, 20) directories. But DNN will always show the favicon in my DNN root directory. If I test the favicon files by putting them in the DNN root they work so I knwo it's not a file issue. If I ranme/delete the favicon file from the DNN root both sites show no favicon anymore. I'm on version 9.06
Check your page source for [code] [/code] or similar and make sure the icons are displayed correctly when you access the href links directly. Favicon caching can be a bit odd with some browsers.
Also, please note that browsers are notorious for caching Favicons. Make sure you test favicons in a private browser window or clear your browser cache.
When attempting to use the favicon setting in site settings, .ico files don't show up in the file picker, and when I use the upload feature the Save button doesn't light up so I can select the save button. In the site file manager I can't see any .ico files even when I know they are in the selected folder, syncing the folder doesn't help either.
I can do sql updates so if anyone can share the format for the FavIconPath setting in the portalsettings table I could try updating it via the DB
Hmm, right. Did you check:
Security > More > MORE SECURITY SETTINGS > Allowable File Extensions
to see if the .ico extension is in there?
If not please add it. :-)

That's it! Thanks for your help everyone!
