Hey Paul,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply,

I've checked in my local, actually that was default behaviour when those user haven't set their user profile cover yet, it will display system default cover image when you edit user profile from backend is because currently do not have a easy way to retrieve frontend template code parameter from backend.

if you really like to achieve this, you have to did following few step :
1. Download my attached file and replace into JoomlaFolder\media\com_easysocial\apps\fields\user\cover\cover.php

2. Copy your override cover image into JoomlaFolder/administrator/templates/<YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE>/html/com_easysocial/covers/user/default.jpg
NOTE: <YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE> This is your current Joomla backend template. Change this according to your site.

By the way, I will consult with our developer regarding this and see is it possible to achieve this in easy way in the future release.

Hey Arlex

Sorry about the slow reply from my side.
And thanks for the hack.
Fingers crossed that this option becomes standard in a future ES.

all the best

Paul
