    When I to google site on my browser, there are some icons of sites previously visited.

    I cant get the default nodeBB icon to change here, even though I uploaded a favicon.
    In the Admin menu, is this icon called something else?

    @cagatay It should be, yes. You don’t need any CSS though…

    Hi Both,

    Can you please ensure that the favicon is present in both locations

    /path/to/nodebb/public/favicon.ico
    /path/to/nodebb/public/uploads/system/favicon.ico
    

    Then restart NodeBB? The files need to be present in both paths, and should be the below

    @Panda I’m aware that your site is hosted, so you are going to be at the mercy of NodeBB themselves here.

    @phenomlab yes, so this is a flaw then, if successful Favicon can’t be uploaded from the Admin panel?
    Worth me raising on NodeBB forum?

    @Panda It’s been raised multiple times, but only for the open source version, and not hosted.

    @Panda Just circling back here with something of an update (which I think you’ll like). I’ve completely restructured the ranking system. There are now less ranks, with a higher point threshold to reach them. More importantly, if you reload the site, you’ll notice that the ranks are now icons. I also removed the “Author” badge, and made this a single icon, which (to me) looks much better.

    @dave1904 I’d start by adding a console.log function to hookData so you can see what is being returned return hookData; console.log(hookData):

    @eeeee if you’re using the console, you could try node app.js > app.log 2>&1 This would redirect stdout to a file named app.log and redirect stderr to stdout. I’m not sure about standard logging under NodeBB, but there is an error log located at logs/error.log. Failing that, you could always stop the NodeBB service then use ./nodebb dev from the console which would then provide debug output.

    @cagatay You’d target the body tag and use the below line of CSS background: url(/assets/customcss/backgrounds/default/default.png) no-repeat center center fixed; Obviously, you need to change the path to suit where your image is being stored. More info around the background property can be found here https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background.php

    @phenomlab said in Social icon (Nodebb): @jac I just tested my theory around using the OG image, and according to the Twitter card validator, it works fine [image: 73e805e1-997b-41bf-9259-51c5052ca8fc-image.png] fixed
