Is this a theme error or a shopify error or maybe a error on my end? Either way, anyway I can fix this? As I got my template from ecom king for free, so obvi I have no theme support. Would hate to have to start over as worked days on perfecting my store with this theme.
Topic summary
Issue: Variant images were not displaying correctly for product options on a free theme (from Ecom King). A screenshot was shared illustrating the image error on variant selection.
Steps taken: A reviewer asked for the store preview URL and suggested the problem likely stemmed from how variant images were configured in the theme, potentially requiring code review.
Solution provided: In the Theme Customizer, under Main settings > “Various,” enable the “Use variant images” option and upload images directly to each variant. Alternatively, follow the theme’s color swatch instructions (naming images to match color names), though this was noted as more confusing.
Outcome: After enabling “Use variant images” and assigning variant images, the merchant confirmed it worked and expressed thanks.
Status: Resolved. No code changes or paid service were ultimately required. Images/screenshots were central to understanding the issue and the settings location.
Can you please provide a preview URL of the store?
We need to review the code because it appears there might be an issue with how the variant image is set up.
How can we do that? I’m guessing you sell a service? It should be a simple fix to someone who knows what their doing so hope its not too much $$.
Hey @Austin_Erkl ,
Just go to your main settings in the Theme Customizer and under “Various” Check the box that says “Use variant images” and upload some images for the variants.
If not read the instructions above for colour swatches that says you need to upload photos according to the colour name which I think is very confusing. It’s better to just upload whatever photo you want into the variant images and then checking the “Use variant images” option.
