Fixing a cover photo to Ancestry trees

[brigidmac]

I feel like I should know this or be able to find the answer on Ancestry help

I have several trees and the photo changes on tree  overview frequently + tends to be most recent picture I've added to gallery so could be a distant relative

Other peoples tree overviews seem to maintain a cover picture

I'd like to be able to choose which picture appears on each tree.


Hope that makes sense .
+ That someone can explain in simple terms how to do it .

Or maybe that's how the trees appear to me but to others they appear with a profile picture

Hi Brigid

I think that the photos that come up on Overview are headed 'Recent Photos' so, if you have added new images, they would appear rather than older ones.

Thanks gadget
I see a collection of photos on other trees
But their main tree photo seems to be the same .

I've looked at a few of those that I have ownership or editor rights and they all show the most recent photos as a strip.   If I'm a guest, it goes to the Media gallery itself.

I don't see a single main one on any of them.

Are you meaning the photo that comes up for an individual  on their profile page?

[brigidmac]

If I have a DNA match and look at their profile
That I don't match it comes up with the trees on their account and each tree has a profile pic
For example my late aunts tree has pic of the cottages in cambuslang where grandad was born
Even tho as co editor I can add other pictures
But  the trees I'm managing I don't see what this looks like to others

I remember clicking on a distant matches profile and seeing a picture of my grandparents as their "tree profile " pic but you are right it may just be latest pic they have posted and some trees profile pic doesn't change because they don't continue to add to their galle

[brigidmac]

No I don't mean their profile pic

If they have more than one open tree there is a picture accompanying each tree

Ah - you talked about  Tree Overview, which was what I responded to

I have several trees and the photo changes on tree  overview

Looking at the tree image on the profiles of my shared matches, as far as I can see, it seems to be the most recent photo that was posted in the Media Gallery.

Add - as far as I can see, a photo only come up against a tree if it is a linked (non-private)  tree and is the only tree that the match has listed.
