XF 1.4 Favicon Issues

We're trying to add unique a favicon to KH-Flare, but it doesn't want to update. It should be the one our test site has:

Favicon.webp

See the conversation below for some info:
[3:15:50 PM] Jordan: So I can deduce that one of the add-ons on khf is the reason the favicon won't work.
[3:16:04 PM] Amaury: The favicon's showing fine there.
[3:16:09 PM] Amaury: It's the XenForo one.
[3:16:21 PM] Jordan: It's supposed to be the one on the test site.
[3:16:58 PM] Amaury: Which add-on?
[3:17:02 PM] Jordan: I dunno.
[3:17:21 PM] Jordan: It might not be an add-on. Maybe it's something in the changes we've made.
[3:17:46 PM] Jordan: I'm just assuming it is since I can't really see any changes we've made to templates keeping the favicon from updating.
[3:18:24 PM] Amaury: The favicon is a server-side thing, though, I think. Searching for favicon in the ACP I get nothing.
[3:19:04 PM] Jordan: The image is in the directory it's supposed to be in. It just doesn't register.
[3:19:26 PM] Jordan: I don't know how favicons work ... they're like magnets.
 
Also, make doubly sure that you don't have a rewrite of ANY type in your htaccess for the favicon.ico. When I go to your site to specifically pull it up, this is what is showing up:

These are all the rewrites that were added to the default htaccess

I don't personally remember adding them all but ... they're there.
 
Thanks to @Tracy Perry this issue has been resolved.

According to him, it was an issue with LiteSpeeds cache being "froze up" and with some brute force he managed to unclog the metaphorical drain. This area isn't my forte so I might not be explaining it right but the important thing is it's fixed now and I know what to do if the issue resurfaces.

I'd like to thank everyone for their responses and a big thanks to Tracy.

It was a caching issue... but apparently not LS since the caching module is not enabled there. Not sure if you are doing file caching or writing the templates out to file - didn't check that, but you know how to fix it now if it happens again.
