Favicon not appearing in Community

I need to add a favicon to our Community. I found an article (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000167021&type=1) which has the following steps:-

1. Create 16x16 icon. Add the favicon as an .ico format

2. Upload as a static resource and make sure cache control attribute is set as public

3. Go to Setup > Develop > Sites and click on Edit for your Site. / If you are logged into Community Management go to Administration > Pages > Go to Force.com > and click on the Edit button. In the Site Favorite Icon field upload the desired favicon.

I followed these steps but the favicon is not yet appearing.

    This is now solved. I followed the steps on this blog: https://blogs.perficient.com/2017/08/01/favicons-your-salesforce-community-is-not-complete-without-one/

    The key step was this one:

    If you’re using a Lightning community, you can try adding the link to the favicon in the head markup from within the Builder. Go to Settings > Advanced > Edit Head markup and enter in the following:

    ​<link rel=”shortcut icon” href=”/resource/<faviconName>.ico” type=”image/x-icon” />
