    I’d like to update the Facebook icon on my website, but I don’t know how to go about it.

    I am also being told that when people click on the Facebook icon that’s on the site at the moment it does not connect to our Facebook like page.

    Can anyone help with these two problems?

    The website is http://www.planestrainsautomobiles.co.uk

    Here are places to check:

    ADMIN SECTION:
    Settings > Social Media Links (if you’re using a plugin)
    Widgets > Check all widget areas for any sign of social media links
    Plugins > Check if you are using a social media plugin, if so, try clicking on settings there
    Media > Search for share-facebook.png and see if it might possibly be attached to a post; this is very unlikely to help but it may give an idea of where the file is being called

    It is also possible it is hard coded into one of the template PHP files. Open the following PHP files in a text editor or under the Appearance > Editor menu and ctrl-F (search) for: “share-facebook.png”

    Sidebar.php
    Page.php
    Page-*.php (anything that begins with “page-” (unlikely to find here as it would require duplicate code on all these pages but it is possible)

    Try that and let me know what you find.

    The other thing is, did something happen to your Facebook page? Was it re-named or deleted? Because it looks like the ID of your Facebook page might have been changed or something, and a simple fix there could fix the entire problem.
