I have to admit that each time I try to configure a new site with the following modules I end up spending time to figure out where the IMCE related buttons are

• CKeditor
• IMCE
• jQuery Update(It is the culprit!)

FIX: All you have to do is, go to the jQuery module configuration and ensure the selected version is 1.7 or below. Save the configuration, clear the cache and if you go to your IMCE browser, you should be able to see all the buttons there.

Note to myself: Next time remember to check this blog before wasting too much time 😉
