Things are starting to come together and I'm back with new questions :)
1) The Socialize login & registration fields are not visible on my site.
2) The demo branding image is also not visible.
Images are attached to illustrate what is not visible

HI, Karen.

Thank you for contacting us.
They are not visible as you didn't configured them :)
For login form you need to enable JS Toolbar module (it will look a bit different that the on on printscreen as it's new one). Assign it to "top-header"module position.

Also in that module you can set your branding logo.

Hello Michal,
I thought I had the JS Toolbar enabled but I have dueling toolbars and no user registration or login. What have I done wrong here? (screenshots attached) I appreciate your assistance!

HI, Karen.

1. Uninstall "Community Toolbar for Socialize Template" as this module was deprecated.
2. You have two toolbars as one is from JS Modula and second is from JomSocial itself. Browse to:
Backend -> Components -> JomSocial -> Configuration -> Layout -> Show Toolbar -> NO.
This will hide second toolbar.
But it seems that you removed menu items from JomSocial Toolbar menu. That's bad as it may cause navigation issues. You need to recreate them in this order:

Hello Michal,
Thank you-the redundant toolbars are gone & an updated image is attached. I still have a login/logout button instead of a user login/logout field at the top of the page. This site is meant to be a small private social network and what I would like for privacy purposes, is a landing page with just the login module so registered users can login and access to the rest of the site. Is it possible to achieve this?
Karen

HI, Karen.

Yore logged in, that's why you see logout button.
Log out and you'll see login fields ^^

Ha! Once I put the site online, the login fields were right there :) If I want to create a landing page that only shows the login module, are there plug-ins or extensions for that?

Hi, Karen.

if you want t landing page with login form only - this may help you:

Hello Michal,
Thanks for all of your help - it's all starting to come together :)
I found a paid extension that is working for me as a login landing page:

HI, Karen.

Frankly, you don't need that extension and with a little bit effort you may lock your community on your own.
Please, check this:

Will check that out!

HI, Karen.

Let me know in the linked topic if you'll have any questions ;)
