I changed the favicon.ico in my website, but the old one still shows. What do I need to do to make the new one show-up?

Hi!
You can check the .CSS file for this. Check if favicon.ico is in or not! If it is there then replace it with new one.
Thanks.

You cannot put a favicon in a css file. At least that is what I have always been told.
Is there a way to refresh things like this so the new files shows up on in the browser?

1 - a check in different browsers. 2 - Did you put the tag. 3 - If you are between <head> tag. <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> 4 - Whether it is true size. 5 - the content caching feature is enabled in your browser to disable it if it is active.

Clearing the Cache or do Cntrl + f5 or just open the link in a different computer, and you can see the new fac icon. :) it happens a lot of times with our clients too :)

favicon is pretty sticky. Delete your cache. Remove the bookmark/favorite. Readd the bookmark/favorite.
