Hi All,

I'm having an issue where it appears AdminTools is blocking my favicons.

https://dev.deanparkcontractors.co.uk

There are a number of favicons for the various mobile and desktop devices, and in so much as I was able to check, they were all working fine until installing AdminTools.

I used RealFaviconGenerator.net to create the icons and the associated meta tags:

<link rel="apple-touch-icon" sizes="180x180" href="https://www.akeeba.com/apple-touch-icon.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="32x32" href="https://www.akeeba.com/favicon-32x32.png">
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" sizes="16x16" href="https://www.akeeba.com/favicon-16x16.png">
<link rel="manifest" href="https://www.akeeba.com/site.webmanifest">
<link rel="mask-icon" href="https://www.akeeba.com/safari-pinned-tab.svg" color="#5bbad5">
<meta name="msapplication-TileColor" content="#ffc40d">
<meta name="theme-color" content="#ffffff">

After installing AdminTools, the default Joomla favicon disolays for some browsers, but not others and the custom favicons don't display at all (I haven't had a chance yet to have my colleagues check on Apple devices yet, but they were all working fine on Windows machines & phones).

I know the files listed in the meta are mostly PNG's but I've still added 'ico' and 'ICO' to the AdminTools "Backend file types allowed in selected directories" and "Frontend file types allowed in selected directories" configuration settings as troubleshooting steps, but this doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any help you could lend would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Todd

Admin Tools 5.1.0 made access to files a little stricter. If the file is outside the normal folders of /images or /media, you need to specifically allow access to that file. So you need to add exceptions for those png and svg files in .htaccess Maker. (Allow direct access to these files).

Ahhh, that makes sense! Thank you for the speedy reply.

You guys rock. :)

I'll go ahead and close this ticket now.

Thanks again!

You're welcome!
