I am trying to add some customized CSS coding to wpForo that I generated online. It resizes the picture I used on the Category Cover Image. I tried adding this into the Custom CSS Code section in Colors & Styles but I could not get it to save. I am a novice with coding and trying to learn - TIA for any guidance you can give!

Here is the code I generated at: https://www.w3docs.com/

<style>
img {
max-width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
</style>

Hi,

Start from removing caching from your wpForo pages:

Hi @eviolette,

You need to use HTML tags to set the path of the CSS code and use CSS codes to manage the changes.

Example: the 1 line before the curly bracket are the HTML tags used to set the path and 2,3 lines are CSS codes to make the changes on that particular HTML tag's.

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpf-category-page .wpforo-category { 
    background-size: contain; 
    height: 170px;
}

The code should be inserted in Custom CSS Field from wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles pages.
