There are two styling elements you will probably want to change when you begin working on your new ocPortal website. You will need to change the site logo and you will also need to change your website’s favicon.
How to Change your Favicon
The Favicon is the small image that appears on Tabs on your web browser and also appears next to bookmarks for your website. Having a unique favicon makes your site standout amongst other bookmarks and makes it easy to identify.
A Favicon is 16×16 pixel. ocPortal will resize your image for you to ensure it is the correct size, but it is better if the image you use is square. You also need to make sure there isn’t too much detail as this will be lost once it is resized.
Changing the Favicon Step by Step
- Log in to the Adminzone
- Navigate to the Style page of the Adminzone
- Choose the Themes option
- Scroll to the theme you currently have live on your site
- Choose edit theme images
- Choose General
- Scroll down to Favicon and click on it
- Choose and upload your image and click the save button
- Check your Favicon is appearing correctly in the tab which displays your website
- If the favicon doesn’t look correct edit the image and repeat the process
