Hi,

I do not see a favicon in your site. Did you fix this already? What happens if you empty your browser cache and try again?

Hello ajnyga;

Ok, because I do not see it:

Maybe you could try it with another browser, just in case?

If you compare:

  1. http://philair.ph/publication/index.php/index/index

2. http://philair.ph/publication/

I delete the favicon in installation directory but still remained.\
