Hi, yesterday and before when you hit join you see the facebook button to join with facebook. This button has not gone and just shows a text link. I have noticed this is the same as this site. Where has the button gone? How do i get it back?

Samething, this is frustrating for me when I just started to market/advertise my website and explaining to people to join my website is very easy with just the facebook connect. 


As a new user trying to introduce a new social networking site to someone is very hard already. This is just making it that much more difficult.

So i have found a temp fix for this, its pretty simple, but works.

Find a fbconnect image or use the one i have attached.

go to edit theme ---> graphics ---> upload the fb image ---> copy the image URL

then go to languages and follow Pete's steps, however instead of changing the text to "Facebook Connect" insert the following image code.

<img src="URL of your uploaded Photo" />

Hey presto, fb connect image is back.

In the above picture , it is show to edit the "
Facebook Connect" on the Languages Tab, BUt it will not work, I suggest to do the same means,


<img src="URL of your uploaded Photo" />  to The word CONNECT in the Languages tab.

This issue has been fixed, just update your version of FB connect plugin. You do not need to edit the languages section anymore.

However if you have changed the text in the language section to display the image, you will have to undo your edit and put back just the plain text, otherwise the image will display twice.

There is still a bug with this plugin tho. Aliia if you could take a look into this. The synchronize with FB button does not display on edit user profile. I am almost sure it used to display "Synchronize with FB" image.
