upload your favicon to the root directory of your elgg install eg: my-website.com/elgg/favicon.ico

inside your file manager go to your-elgg-install-directory/views/default/page/elements

and edit the file named:shortcut_icon.php

change the path of the icon to the path of the favicon you just uploaded to your elgg directory.

before: /_graphics/favicon.ico
after: /favicon.ico

and done…..open your site up in a browser and refresh the page a couple of times
