Where do I put my favicon with Hugo

Question

I am using Hugo to generate a static site. Where should I put my favicon.ico file?

Answer 1

Static files (like logo image or favicon) goes to the "static" folder If you are using:

• a downloaded template, put it in /static/* of your hugo project (to avoid getting erased when updating it)
• your own tempalte, put it in /themes/themeName/static/*

Both will be accessible with path like: /*

Example : "/static/ico/myico.ico" and "/themes/themeName/static/ico/myico.ico" will be bot accessible by "/ico/myico.ico"
