collection photos not linking to collection page or collection banner

A user is migrating their Shopify store to version 2.0 and encountering issues with collection photos not displaying correctly on a custom recipe collection template, despite working on the default collection template.

Current Problem:

  • Collection images fail to appear on both the collection page and collection banner for the new template
  • The user copied code from their current working version but it’s not functioning in the new theme

Technical Context:

  • Theme is being updated to the latest version
  • Custom code requires manual migration due to Shopify 2.0’s changed coding language
  • Multiple images were shared showing the issue (current vs. new theme versions)

Our website is currently updating our theme to the latest version and we have custom coding and customizations we are having to transition manually. Since we are migrating to shopify 2.0 some of the coding language has changed. I have some limited experience with coding and we are trying to customize and custom code for a new collection template we are trying to launch on our updated website.

I have the collection photos working on the default collection but I can’t get them to show up for our recipe collection template which I’ve created. I’ve copied the code over from our current version where the image photos are showing up correctly on both the collection page and the collection banner.

What am I doing wrong?!
