The only place I could find the word favicon in the code was in this weird file \core\includes\md5_sums_vbulletin.php. It had a whole bunch of encryption after it... I feel like my changes are being overruled by this file somehow. favicon.ico in the root always works. This is very strange behaviour.

The Favicon goes in the base, or root, directory of the website. This will be used by browsers unless otherwise directed. vBulletin has a favicon in its base directory. You can overwrite this file with your custom image. There is no individual favicon for the AdminCP.
You can also tell vBulletin to use a different file other than favicon.ico by updating the favicon style variable in the AdminCP under Styles -> Style Manager. Choose "Style Variable Editor" from the Choose Action... drop down for your specific style.
This behavior is not new to vBulletin 5. It works the exact same way in vBulletin 3 and 4.
You shouldn't be editing the code of vBulletin 5. Any changes will be overwritten when you upgrade. Everything that should be edited including templates, phrases, and style variables are stored in the database. Same as the last two decades.Translations provided by Google.

And what is the favicon in /js/jquery/datatables/images?
I want all upgrades to work - I always avoid coding changes when the software is working properly. I'm sure my root favicon will appear after I clear my browser data or something - clearing browser cache didnt work in chrome or firefox to show new favicon. But I know its there so it will probably show up. In general, I need the rest of the upgrade instructions from 4.2.5 to 5.5.6. Avatars are appearing beside posts but not in profiles, except sometimes, for example. The instructions said to not delete avatars and other images, but didnt tell me how to put them back into vbulletin 5. I cant see the avatar drop down menu when selecting an avatar anymore either. These are all image issues from the upgrade.Last edited by paulnicholson; Fri 7 Feb '20, 3:13pm.

Originally posted by Wayne Luke View PostThere is no way to restore your avatars from vBulletin 4. Each avatar needs to be manually uploaded to the user. The majority of our customers use custom avatars which are stored in /core/customavatars. These will carry over in the upgrade. I will make a note on the upgrade instructions that avatars provided by the site owner are no longer supported. Users need to upload their own avatars.

The favicon image will be cached by your browser. It will change when the browser clears the old image out of the cache. Usually about two weeks.
However, if your forums are in a sub-directory like /forums/ and you have a favicon.ico file in the root of your server, the browser may just ignore what is specified in vBulletin. The favicon.ico file should be in the root of the web server.Translations provided by Google.
