Into an empty cell, drop the facebook plugin (under social networks with all the widgets on the right hand side), and add a link to the page in Profile URL.

Or you could simply find a logo of your choice (google facebook images) and link it to the facebook page.

Hi, thanks.
I tried solution#1, couldn't find the facebook plugin in the EDIT of a page, RHSide had other widgets etc.  So i tried solution#2.
Much better...
I inserted an image into an empty cell, then linked it to a  FILE or URL ... https://www.facebook.com/clubheathcote/
When i PREVIEW test it,
IF i am signed into FBook it goes direct to the FB page, good.
BUT,
IF i am not signed into FBook it suggests 'an error', but there is a login section up in the top right corner, which if i sign in goes direct to the club heathcote page.

Leo - obviously the best solution is the one that works, but you should have been able to find the widget - did you scroll down enough?

Hi, i'm very tired, i keyed in my response, tried to post, had to login here again, and lost the post. Ho hum.
I've played around as you suggested with some success and failure.
IF i'm signed into FB, it works fine.
BUT if i'm not, i get an error screen, but with a login at the top RHS, and after email/password entered - goes to where i wanted in the first place.
I'm sure when i've visited Revesby Workers club, and done something similar it has gone directly to their FB page, without me having to Login?
Leo.

Leo, I just logged out of facebook and had the same issue with my page and yours, but on another - no issue.  On the face of it your facebook page needs to have the privacy settings changed. I believe if made public a log in should not be required.
