thank you. So, I just paste this code somewhere and it somehow works? Where do I paste it? SHould I create another joomla article? or paste in a module? or paste inside an email or something? I did create a custom.css file vefore but where do I put it? Do I paste those codes inside something? I have seen that browser tool thing 1000 times but it does not tell me where to put something. That is cearly not a beginner method.

SO, I am additionally confused now. If JS_Shadow is a theme, do I paste those codes inside that temef somewhere? Would that be inside the something.php file? perhaps somewhere inside a SCSS folder with some new file name? I do not know.... so I am asking for Beginner instructions.

    Also, within Jomsocial in the configuration section under "teamplates" it says that I installed the template called "JS_Shadow". So, I am assuming that JS_Shadow is indeed an actual template since it's in the template section. If it is just a theme, why is it in the template area? I want to somehow modify the supposed template to reduce the size of that cover photo. Do I need to put something inside that template theme or somewhere else? I really do not know.

        Hi
        If you are not aware the basics css its hard for you, as its custom work you need to check it with your developer.
        About where to paste? you must check it on custom.css as you already trying
        + without a URL how i will give suggestion i am not sure your template support custom.css or not?
        It would be better if you share the asked details to get proper support. I already shared the details how to customize things, for very beginner first you have to learn the css, html as its not something i can help under support scope to give support for learning.

        Let me know the URL if the code is not working.

          \

          Jomsocial is running the jomsical template called "JS_Shadow" according to what it is showing within Jomsical admin under configuration/templates. What file do I add that code into for taht tempalte?

          OR...do I need to somehow modify the main website template itself? Previously I did edit the single.php file and did eliminate the cover photo...but that breaks the jomsocial code.

              Hi
              I am afraid if you can not share details, i am not able to provide further support , as there is not details to check. The code i shared you can add in custom.css file in the template css folder or at the end of template.css
              I am not sure as you are not giving site URL or what template you are using. you have to share the details as its not a bug fix to make test on demo site or fresh package.
              If you need further help just provide me details as i am only trying to help you.

              Here is Support policy : https://www.jomsocial.com/support-policy

                  In Jomsocial configuration/templates... what does it mean when it says "JS_Shadow" in the template list? Is that not a template? That's the template I am using.

                    thank you for sharing the support policy link. However, this is not a quetsion about support policy.

                    I am looking at the Jomsocial configuration section . There is a section called "Templates" Inside that template section there is a template called "JS_Shadow".... Is the template called "JS_Shadow" not actually the template even though its in the template section now? IF JS_Shadow is not a template, why is it in the template section?

                    I have been told I need to edit the template. So, do I edit the JS_Shadow template or some other template?

                    Yes, I should know CSS and HTML to do this work. This is how we learn. We learn by doing. So, I am doing.

                    So, again, do I edit the JS_Shadow template or some other template? I did add a custom.css file containing the codes you wrote.. I put that custom.css file inside the JS_Shadow template located in cmponents/com_community/templates/custom.css but the cover photo size did not change.

                        Hi
                        JS Shadow is a JomSocial theme. It work only for JomSocial area not Joomla template, so it called as JomSocial theme or JomSocial template.

                        You need to add the code in custom.css of your Joomla template not Jomsocial. I am not sure what Joomla template you are using as you do not want to share the details support policy link i shared so you can read the policy to know how support work.

                        Add the code at the end of template.css file of your Joomla template if the support not support the custom.css.

                        Again if the code not work you have to share the page URl there is no other way to check why code not work.

                        Hope its clear now.

                            Finally you are clear. Thank you for taking time to read my entire question and thinking about it first.

                            Now I know what to do . I will edit the joomla template, not the jomsocial template, which is not really a template but it is a theme hiding inside the tempalte section.... that is very very confusing....perhaps that jomsocial section name should be changed to be "Themes" rather than "templates"....

                            Thank you fro your answer.

                              One thing is confusing

                              If the cover photo is inside jomsocial, why do I need to edit joomla template? Why not edit jomsocial theme to have smaller cover photos?

                                  Via custom.css you can override its easily and it will not override when you update the JomSocial theme.
                                  If you want to edit the core files you can but it will be override when you update the theme.
