Option Selection Deactivation

[brushy]

I am using the Prestige theme.

I would like to disable the automatic selection of options when the page is first loaded.

Does anyone know how to do this?

If there are any costs involved, I am willing to pay.

Hello,

To disable automatic option selection in the Prestig theme go to your Shopify admin panel navigate to "Online Store" > "Themes" and click "Actions" > "Edit code" on the prestige theme. Find the relevant file like theme.js or product-template.liquid and look for any code that selects an option on page load like $('#product-select').val($('#product-select option:first').val());. comment out or remove this code. Save the changes and test your store to ensure the automatic selection is disabled.

The code you mentioned is not present in theme.js. I have copied the code from theme.js. Can you check this link?

Hello @brushy 
Do you mean to disable Auto Variant Selection on Product pages?

Please let me confirm for this?

When loading the product page, I do not want Option 1 to be selected automatically. Instead, I want it to display a message saying "Please select an option" without any option being pre-selected.

Hello @brushy 
I have understood your requirement.

this needs to be custom coded in the theme and you will need a developer to develop this for you. Let me know if you need one. Thanks
