Harvery, steps you mentioned are cent per cent right. Have you tried purging cache? also, delete the cache of the browser as sometimes browser's offline cache over rides the fresh content.

for clearning theme cache's you can go to (in your moodle site, not CPanel)

Administration > Appearence > Themes > Themes Selector

and on top you'll see button "Clear Theme Cache"

alternatively, you can go into

Administration > Development > Purge All Caches

and in the end, do delete cache of your browser as well.

though I have just tested it myself @ lockquiz.com/education and it still is showing the moodle logo. in case if this doesnt work, let me have access to your CPanel and Moodle plus your logo, and I will do it for you.

Harvey, this is what I had told you about.

I am attaching pictures as well, for your reference.

as well, showing you path for placing your favicon.ico

you have to make sure one thing, that your favicon is in proper format, as you cannot make any image (jpg, png, gif) to work as favicon just by renaming it as favicon. images are first converted into ICON format to be placed in appropriate folder to be fetched by browser as favicon for the site. there is a good website I always use, http://favicon-generator.org/ that converts your images into favicon.ico format (note the extension of the favicon is .ico and not jpg/png/gif).

Hope you get the idea, if still not,get me your image to be used as favicon, and let me know the FTP details for your server so that I can upload it for you.

Preciously, your favicon.ico will be placed in following folder, in reference to your site. (assuming you have named your site with moodle as "lockquiz" where moodle is installed on root, and the theme you are using is "my_theme".

public_html/lockquiz/theme/my_theme/pix/favicon.ico

Harvey, you'll find favicons related to themes in themes folder.so for example you are using a custom theme, then go into custom theme folder and you will find favicon icon there, just replace it with your icon and to see changes, you have to flush theme cache.

sad to see you leaving Moodle with a hope that your themes continued go work on future releases of Moodle. Good Luck with your new job

Eda, you (or who so ever manage your moodle) must have kept the moodledata folder on wwwroot/public_html directory, where it is recommended to keep this data folder separate (out of www/wwwroot/public_html) folder so no one (outsiders, bots, spiders etc) can have access to this .

you can still move directory to the root of your host, if it is still residing at the public_html folder. As moodledata folder holds all uploaded documents, images, etc. later you can update your config.php file mentioning the location of the moodledata folder, even with Guest access and Google Opened, it wont be fetched by google or any other search engine.

with that said, documents that already have been fetched by Google/search engines cannot be removed from their servers, you may can try manually assigning the URL removal in Google Webmaster URL removal tool and as well modify your robots.txt file (as long as its pointing towards HTML folder), the command that you will be typing in robots.txt file will be

User-agent: *

Dissallow: /yourdatadirectory

Dissallow: /mysercretfolder

in above code, (*) represents ALL bots, and if you are just using (/), means all directories are effected, mentioning the name of specific directory will only prevent bots to enter that directory, this only applies if you want to keep your data directory on WWWROOT/PUBLIC_HTML folder.
