I’m making a custom UIButton with 2 images, but for some reason the title is just not showing up, the button is showing fine, but without any title.

_button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
_button.frame = CGRectMake(10, 250, 300, 43);
[_button addTarget:self action:@selector(loginClicked:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[_button setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:normalButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:hoverButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateSelected];
[_button setTitle:@"Login" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button setTitle:@"Login" forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[_button setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button setTitleColor:[UIColor whiteColor] forState:UIControlStateHighlighted];
[self.view addSubview:_button];

    These two lines:

    [_button setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:normalButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button setImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:hoverButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

    should be

    [_button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:normalButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[_button setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile:hoverButtonImg] forState:UIControlStateSelected];

    Explanation: if a foreground image is set for UIButton, the image is placed above the title, so it might hide it. If you want an image and a title to be displayed, you have to set a background image.
