favicon blue tint

[RuiAAPeres]

I think this is my own ignorance and I apologise for this. I did the following:

1. Follow this guide here.
2. I removed the svg versions, since my icon doesn't work as an svg.

I am getting this result on Safari:

This is how my project is structured:

What am I missing?

Thank you!

Hi @RuiAAPeres.

Thanks for pointing this out this issue.

I think this is my own ignorance and I apologise for this.

Not at all. I apologise since I made a mistake in the documentation.

Solution

Here is the corrected version of the documentation:

After using realfavicongenerator.net to generate the favicons, you have to place the resulting files in assets\icons folder.

I have updated the documentation (README.md) to reflect this:

hugo-blog-awesome/README.md

Lines 71 to 73 in 4438214

	### Adding favicon
	I used [realfavicongenerator.net](https://realfavicongenerator.net/) to generate the favicons. You can place the resulting files in the `assets\icons` folder. That should get your favicon working.

So, you just have to move the files present in static\images\favicon to assets\icons folder.

Note

It's a good idea to disable cache before you check your website for the updated favicons. If you are unsure how to do this, you can visit this web page: https://nicholasbering.ca/tools/2016/10/09/devtools-disable-caching/ .

Conclusion

Let me know if this solution worked for you. In case it did, you can mark this as the answer. Otherwise, feel free to post your observations here.

I moved the icons to:

when I ran hugo this is the images folder (empty):

This is my head.html:

The icon now looks like this:

I updated the head.html and it's working now! Thanks

Hi @RuiAAPeres.

I was not aware that you modified the head.html partial. So, I was not able to provide you with an accurate solution.

I am glad you were able to identify the solution and sort it yourself.

Feel free to ask questions relating to any other problem/issue that you may across.

Have a good day. Thanks.
