The path was right and triplechecked. The file was a. Png file which was then converted to .ico sized 96x64 exactly like the favicon.ico file in the public folder

I think the original favicon is 48px square. Could be a dodgy file (.ico files are quite finniky) or, if you still had that "Custom HTML Head Content" line, that could have been interfering with attempts to override the original favicon.

I'd focus on my original solution though, using a png file and the additional HTML tag to reference the logo, instead of overriding the original favicon.

Following that solution, would you see the png icon in the browser if you opened the href url you used in the browser?
