@vapvarun let me run by you really quick the steps I took just to double check I did this correctly.

First, I made a copy of the entire buddyboss-inc folder to put in my child theme. I put that in there because cover-photo.php is located in the buddyboss-inc folder and I learned from tj chester in the past that you must put the entire route to the file you are editing into the child theme. I then edited line 270 of cover-photo.php as instructed by you. I am using 11 random cover stock photo, so I changed the random number generator in cover-photo.php to (1, 11) from (1, 23).

Second, I copied the entire images folder into the child theme. I then deleted all of the cover stock photos in the cover-stocks folder and put my 11 jpeg images in.

There isn’t really a way to check this except for seeing what cover photos pop up, so I wanted to check my process with you. Does this sound like I did it correctly? Only these 11 cover photos will show by default now?

Here is a long post. It’s maninly code though, I figured it would be easiest just to show you the whole section of the code I’m dealing with. I only modified the section @vapvarun recommended and $random_num = rand(1, 11);. I’m sure its just a minor error, could you point it out for me please. Also, I have my 11 stock photos number 1 – 11 in my cover-stocks folder inside of the image folder of the child theme.

function buddyboss_cover_photo_get_stock_sample() {
   global $buddyboss;
   
   $random_num = rand(1, 11); //currently we have 11 images.
   $random_num = apply_filters("buddyboss_photo_cover_random_stock_num",$random_num);
   
   //pick the random image
   $dir_cover = get_stylesheet_directory();
   $filename = $dir_cover.’/images/cover-stocks/’.$random_num.”.jpg”;
   if (!file_exists($filename)) {
   $filename = $buddyboss->tpl_dir.’/images/cover-stocks/’.$random_num.”.jpg”;
	}
   $filename = apply_filters("buddyboss_cover_photo_stock_pick_filename",$filename);
   
   // Check the type of file. We'll use this as the 'post_mime_type'.
   $filetype = wp_check_filetype( basename( $filename ), null );
   // Get the path to the upload directory.
   $wp_upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
   
   //copy  it
   copy( $filename, $wp_upload_dir['path']  . '/' . basename($filename) );
   
   $filename = $wp_upload_dir['path']  . '/' . basename($filename); //new path
   
   // Prepare an array of post data for the attachment.
   $attachment = array(
           'guid'           => $wp_upload_dir['url'] . '/' . basename( $filename ), 
           'post_mime_type' => $filetype['type'],
           'post_title'     => 'Cover Photo Stock Image',
           'post_content'   => '',
           'post_status'    => 'inherit'
   );
   
   // Insert the attachment.
   $attach_id = wp_insert_attachment( $attachment, $filename, 0 );
   require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php' );
   $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $filename );
   wp_update_attachment_metadata( $attach_id, $attach_data );
   
   return $attach_id;
}

That took care of it. Thanks @tjchester @vapvarun
