Theoretically it should be automatic.
However, is it that you see the blog poster's avatar rather than the image?
I'd believe that, but I want to confirm the situation first.

- If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
- If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

- We should not have an image override option on the cms_blogs module because we don't even show news images for blogs, we show avatars. So I'm taking it off. It remains on the cms_news module which can be used for adding blog posts also. cms_blogs is meant to be cut down, so if we have stuff that has no default effect, that's not serving it's original purpose. I realise this may go against what you want, in which case you may wish to copy cms/pages/modules/cms_blogs.php to cms/pages/modules_custom/cms_blogs.php (override it), so the change in the next patch release doesn't apply.
- We are not passing in the custom image to the template you mentioned. This is corrected in the fixed file below. It's the IMG_URL Tempcode parameter. Make sure you empty the block cache.
