Just drop your custom favicon in your site root. That's where browsers look first. Also make sure you flush your browser cache (you may have to do it several times and browsers seem to not to really care about refreshing fa icons very often). Many times I use a different browser, that hasn't been used on the site yet and it shows the new one there.

Thanks, But How can I get to

However you uploaded the Drupal files in the first place. FTP, ssh or your hosts file browser. Put it in the public file directory

You said you put Drupal in the main directory-put it there as well. Put it is the same one where you see core, sites etc.

You are using Cpanel so it will be the public_html directory

So you're telling me to put

DrupalUser17 commented 23 October 2017 at 17:05

Theme folder

Usually you can find it in the theme folder, it depends on which theme you are using. If you use Bootstrap theme, it'll be under themes/bootstrap.

I am using "Bartik" custom

I am using "Bartik" custom theme, and can't find it there.

Empty favicon.ico file

ressa commented 23 October 2017 at 17:42

Create an empty favicon.ico file in the folder core/themes/bartik, and check the page in a fresh browser.

cpanel

Silverngold commented 23 October 2017 at 21:14

You have cpanel. You need to learn your file manager. It is under public html.

Yes I am looking there but

I did that it's still showing

DrupalUser17 commented 24 October 2017 at 17:47

I did that it's still showing in the home page.

use hook_page_attachments_alter() in your .theme file

tribalpixel commented 31 January 2018 at 20:56

/**
 * Implements hook_page_attachments_alter().
 */
function YOURTHEMENAME_page_attachments_alter(array &$page) {

  // Remove Drupal default favicon link in <head> 
  unset($page['#attached']['html_head_link'][0]);
 
}

works for me, in drupal 8.4.4

just check that the favicon is in index [0] ;)
