epages Base Stores - This is how the "correct" favicon appears again in the Google search and replaces it with the epages favicon
Favicon is the small company or trademark that visually identifies websites or online shops in browser tabs and in Google searches.
Currently, your own favicon in the epages Base stores no longer appears in Google searches and is instead shown as the epages favicon. The reason for this is changes to Google's rules.
Here are instructions that will enable your favicon from your epages Base shop to be displayed in Google searches again. It can take up to 1 month, though! Therefore, you need to be patient.
- Logo preparation in 4 sizes:
- PNG- format in sizes
- 96px x 96px
- 114px x 114px
- 144px x 144px
- Ico- format in size.

- 16px x 16px
- Store the files in the file manager
- Prepare the HTML code for each of the 4 sizes.
The image address in the " href " property must match that of your image in the file manager. To get the address, simply click on the desired image, right-click on "Download" and select the "Open in new tab" option.
