I recently changed an image for one of the shop products. This happened to be a cover image, and when I uploaded a new image and went to the Products \> General \> Media section to set this new image to the cover, I found that it is not possible. I’m sure this worked in the past and was easy to do though it has been a long time since I added new product images to the site. Anyway, now on version 6.7.8.2, I can’t find a way to set an image in the media section to be the cover. If I click on an image, I can see the image name, but there is no option to add it as the cover, nor does dragging and releasing it on the ‘Cover’ box work. This is not a product variant.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Did you click on the top right corner of the image? There are three white dots you need to hit. They can be hard to see if the image is bright or has a white background.

Thank you so much, this really helped me! With the transparent background of the image, I couldn’t see the dots. 👓
