Hello, when creating a gallery category there is no way to set a category cover for it. It is only possible from what I discovered by creating said category. Then creating an album, uploading the cover image as a picture and set it as a category cover then HIDE the album.

Way too complicated. Is there a more suitable way to achieve this?

You can set the cover photo, which is what is shown there. Otherwise it will show the last image uploaded

What if I don't have a category cover to exist as a picture within an album? 

What I believe you should do however is allow to assign in ACP when creating a category its default category image. What would sort this problem once and for all. :)

This is the only option that is available at the present time. Please feel free to post this up as a suggestion within our feedback area, if you would like to see change in the future

Thank you, I have -
