Favicon URL Contains #joomlaImage Fragment (Joomla 5) - Shaper_rhino

Hello JoomShaper Support,

I would like to report a favicon-related issue in the shaper_rhino template on Joomla 5.

When selecting a favicon in the template settings, the stored value contains a Joomla Media fragment, for example:

images/favicon.png#joomlaImage://local-images/favicon.png?width=128&height=128

This value is rendered directly into the HTML <head>:

<link href="/images/favicon.png#joomlaImage://..." rel="icon">

Because search engines ignore URL fragments (#...), the favicon is not recognized by Google Search results.

Expected behavior: The template should store or output only a clean path, e.g.:

images/favicon.png

or strip the #joomlaImage fragment before rendering.

Manually removing the fragment in the database fixes the issue, but it reappears after saving the template style.

This issue seems specific to shaper_rhino, as other JoomShaper templates on Joomla 5 handle favicons correctly.

Thank you for looking into this.

Best regards Milan

Hello,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Could you please share temporary administrator access to your Joomla backend? You can provide the credentials securely in the hidden content section. Also, please take a full backup of your site before we make any changes.

Once I have access, I’ll investigate further and see what’s causing the issue. Let me know once you’ve shared the details!

Best regards,

Hello,

thank you for your response.

I’ve already identified the cause of the issue and applied a workaround on my production site, so I don’t need any changes made directly on this domain.

The problem is reproducible on a clean Joomla 5 installation with the default shaper_rhino template:

  • selecting a favicon via the template settings stores a Media URI with the #joomlaImage fragment
  • this fragment is rendered directly into the <link rel="icon"> output
  • which causes the favicon not to be recognized by Google Search

Because this is a template-level behavior, it should be possible to verify and fix it on a clean install without access to my live site.

I’m reporting this so it can be addressed in a future update of shaper_rhino, as it affects any Joomla 5 site using the template.

Thank you for looking into this.

Best regards Milan
