Disable Click on Product Thumbnails — Dawn Theme

[gracemoore]

We are encountering a few issues with customers being sent the wrong product variant because they select the product thumbnail they wish to purchase, but Shopify doesn't then change the variant option to the corresponding variant. I cannot find a solution for selecting variants by clicking the variant thumbnail images on Dawn theme — it only works the other way around, by selecting the variant option, which then changes the main image.

A workaround for this may be to disable 'click' on the product thumbnails. I would like customers to still see the image slider/thumbnail gallery below the main product image, but I do not want them to be able to click on these thumbnails to change the image. This way, the only way they will have of changing the main image is by selecting the variant option they wish to view / purchase.

Is this possible through code?

This code did not work when I added it to my base.css file, but I have added it to my theme.liquid file enclosed in a style tag and it was worked! Thanks so much.

Add to theme.liquid:

<style>

.product__media-wrapper .thumbnail-list__item button.thumbnail {

pointer-events: none !important;

}

</style>
