I have overrides setup for the two watermark images for EasySocial Videos in my template (Elegant) as such:

templates/elegant/html/easysocial/videos/logo.png
templates/elegant/html/easysocial/videos/watermark.png

despite this, when I updated Easysocial my video watermarks were overwritten.

what would the path be in my template for the appropriate override to ensure this doesn't happen again?
Hey Paul,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. We had an issue with template overrides because some users uses a different template on the web and a different template for mobile. To make matters worst, they have different template for different menus. This makes creating image overrides in the templates folder a little problematic.

To fix this, we have now moved this into /images/easysocial_override/video_watermark.png and /images/easysocial_override/video_logo.png

By the way, during the upgrade process, EasySocial would actually copy these files into the folder above. I have checked your site and those files was indeed copied into the folder above.

So you think I made it up because I like wasting your an my time? After the update, the images went back to the default EasySocial images. I manually uploaded them in the Joomla>Easysocial admin. They were not copied before that.

Hm, no I am not saying that you are wasting time. What I am saying is the maintenance script should have taken care of it by copying the overrides over to the folder. When I tried to FTP to check, those images are there (I did not realized you manually uploaded them)

There is a possibility that during the maintenance, it failed to copy the files over due to permission issues but to be honest, we need to run more tests locally to test this out.
