If you are wondering why some cover images you set are not be showing as cover images in prestashop 1.7, then this article will help you figure out the reason.
How to set product cover images in pretashop 1.7
If you check on the front office, you may find, the cover image you set doesn't get shown out as cover image.
Why? That's because of prestashop just get images of the default combination, if the cover image you sent is not an image for the default combination, then it would be shown out.
I think that's not a bug, but I am not sure that's the right way, I have created a tool to force prestashop 1.7 to show cover images when they are no images assigned to the default combination, but it works for product listing pages only.
Here is the module
Force prestashop to show the cover images (665 downloads)
Force prestashop to show the cover images (665 downloads)
But the module doesn't work on the homepage. Currently, the best solution is that choose an image that is assigned to the default combination to be the product's cover image.
hello, I'm trying to disable the default combination, with a custom code I managed to remove it in the product. Now I miss the cover image, how did you solve it? this is my website

How did you do that, what's the code you added, let me know more details so I can see if I can help you, you can email to me helloleemj@gmail.com I once successfully disabled the default combination on 1.6, but never tried on 1.7.
Well i have 1.7.5 and this bug should been fixed a long time ago. If anyone is interested i found a solution.
1. Add combination named "p"
2. Attach this combination "p" to picture You want to have as cover. And set up as cover hit save button.
3. Turn on dissapiring combinations when out of stock.
In this case You have a combination that is Cover image and its out of stock so when someone enter the product it show only avalable combinations.
Thanks for sharing the solution!
