Website is not displaying favicon. I'm using Moodle 4.x with Boost theme.
A file named favicon.ico is correctly placed in pix folder inside theme folder.
I have also tried to activate designer mode and purged cache as instructed here:
https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Favicon
Any idea on what's wrong?
Moving to Themes forum.
I have "solved" by placing favicon on website root and adding a line in Additional HTML - Within HEAD field, pointing to it.
Nice you found a solution.
Better would be to explain it with more details, it could help other people

Don't know what to say more, honestly.
I used standard HTML code to add favicon to a page:
Example here: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_favicon.asp

Have you cleared the browser (not the server) cache for the site?
I honestly feel like this solution should be in the how to guide as a lot of installations dont give access to the theme folders, or it's trickier, to place images (especially MoodleCloud). Dropping your favicon as a resource on a publicly accessible page and then linking to it in the additional html / header has always been my goto solution.
Ive had a crack at editing the docs here: https://docs.moodle.org/400/en/Favicon. Once it's approved, if folks could give feedback, that would be great!
I'm using Moodle 4.x with Boost theme. To display my custom favicon, first, I renamed all the favicon.ico to moodle-favicon.icobak from all the themes in these following folders:
/var/www/html/theme/boost/pix/favicon.ico
/var/www/html/theme/classic/pix/favicon.ico
Second step, I uploaded my own favicon, to theme pix folders mention above, and renamed my custom favicon to favicon.ico
Third step, I deleted the ico file from this folder /var/www/moodledata/localcache/theme/1662613026/boost/pix/theme/favicon.ico
Fourth and last step, I deleted out my last 24-hour browser cache.
/var/www/html/theme/boost/pix/favicon.ico
/var/www/html/theme/classic/pix/favicon.ico

It seems the devs have been working on this: Just updated my 4.1 dev server and this was a new setting:
