The favicon will not change to my custom one, it shows the default Ghost one instead. When I go to [example.com/favicon.ico](http://example.com/favicon.ico) it says:

I use DigitalOcean as my external storage. The custom favicon _does_ upload, but it doesn’t become the favicon.

Hey there. Can you inspect the HTML code of the site and look for the line that says “shortcut icon”, that piece of code should show you the path to your uploaded favicon
