So I’ve had a custom theme (like the older method, not done via admin settings) for a while, and although I believe I’ve replaced all of the NC logo icons for logo, apple-touch, etc, etc, etc, when I share a link to a file, it still - basically a year later (so no cache) - shows the NC logo:
You’ll have to take my word for it the SVGs have been replaced as I can’t preview them:
I’ve gone through the source looking for it, but haven’t been able to locate it.
Any ideas?
NC: 11.0.3
I have just double checked (since I use the same “external” theme method) and for me it still works. My image file is:
/var/www/nextcloud/themes/[theme name]/core/img/favicon-fb.png

Oh interesting! Do you have one for the other social networks too?
This same file works for example with FaceBook, Skype and even here on this forum.
See the link below of a test file.
UPDATE: Link removed since not active anymore
Hmm, doesn’t work for me at all as yet. We shall see if caches clear today…

hello im facing the same issue and i did replace all files yet it didnt update when i do the sharing
You have done the following:
Create /var/www/nextcloud/themes/[theme name]/core/img/favicon-fb.png
Clear cache with:
a. APCu -> Restart Apache2
b. Redis -> Run command redis-cli flushall

Same issue on Slack, I changed the logo in the Theming section (including Logo + Favicon), but when pasting a link on nextcloud I see this logo:
When looking at the source page of the link I see:
<link rel="icon" href="/apps/theming/favicon?v=18">
<link rel="apple-touch-icon-precomposed" href="/apps/theming/icon?v=18">
<link rel="mask-icon" sizes="any" href="/core/img/favicon-mask.svg" color="#0082c9">
...
<meta property="og:type" content="object"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="https://myserver.com/core/img/favicon-fb.png"/>
I overwrite directly the favicon-fb.png in core/img, but still slack is showing the nextcloud logo. Restarted nginx & php-fpm. But not redis-flush (I think it is use only for file-locking)?
Anyone?

i have the exact same problem, looking for solution.
i have found that facebook has a tool that troubleshoots this issue - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
and the tool showed below warning to me:
seems that we have missing tags for our icons to work?
after reading the guidelines from facebook, i have uploaded a logo with at least 200 px on one side and it worked!
hope this helps those with problems getting the logo thumbnails.
