High support at Stack Ideas,
I realized like, by allowing users to sign up on easysocial using their facebook account, they bypass my custom registration fields.

Also, signing up with facebook account is not intuitive enough and may frustrate my users, because sometimes, when you click on "Sign Up" with facebook" it sends you to another page where you are asked to create new account or (sign in, in case you are existing user).

But when you click on "Create Account" it returns you to the very first main "sign in" and "Sign Up" page so that you have to repeat the first action and again choose whether to "Sign Up with facebook" or use the default registration fields.

In view of this confusion, I would like disable the "Sign Up with facebook" But maintain the "Sign in with facebook" Please assist me here to achieve this. Thanks in advance.
Hey Sam,

Both these buttons actually does the same thing If you are "new" to the system, clicking either of the button simply does the same thing.

We only display both buttons there to avoid confusions for users

Hi Mark,
thank you for the reply. I understand that both buttons do the same thing when you are new to the system.

But please, removing the "Sign Up with facebook" button will discourage new users from clicking on it.

And Once they have already registered, they will be encouraged to click on the "Sign in with facebook".

This is good enough for me. Being able to remove the "Sign Up with facebook" is better option for me, please.
Or maybe, anyway I can remove the button with CSS at least?

Hey Sam,

If you want to remove the other button, edit the file /components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/login/default.php and remove the block of codes below at line 106,

Hi Mark,
I thank you a lot for this. But I would want to create override so that I don't lose my changes when new updates come.

Please guide me to create the override. Should I copy this file
components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/login/default.php
, edit it and put it in
/mytemplate/html/com_easysocial/default.php ? 

Where will I put the default.php to create override of it?
