Custom favicons not working in 1.0

Issue Summary

Custom favicons are no longer working.

I’ve looked in the admin panel to make sure the favicon isn’t configured there, but I don’t see anything of the sort, only a way to upload a much larger “Publication Icon”.

Two separate issues:

• {{ asset "/favicon.ico" }} does not correctly source the theme favicon anymore. I would expect this to return /assets/favicon.ico, but it instead returns /favicon.ico.

• Further, {{ ghost_head }} is adding another line of the default favicon to the page.

I can’t seem to override it, regardless of whether I put a hard-coded <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/assets/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> before or after {{ ghost_head }}.

Steps to Reproduce

Try to use {{ asset "/favicon.ico" }} to serve a custom favicon from the theme assets.

Technical details:

• Ghost Version: 1.0
• Node Version: 6.9.5
• Browser/OS: Chrome/OSX
• Database: mysql

Okay, thank you both for clarifying.

I will say, it’s entirely non-obvious based on the admin panel. There doesn’t seem to be any indication there or in the documentation that the Publication Icon is what you need to upload to display a custom favicon.

I pushed the method implementation suggested by @aphe which is fixing the problem. Actually pushed on the mmornati repo. I will push on the seth one too (I think we will keep only one repo).
