Or if you would be able to tell me which tweaks I must do in the code I will do it and then switch with tranquillity when you guys get this feature out
Topic summary
Goal: refine Aurora Theme’s “Show Only Selected Variant Media” so product images show only for the selected variant using a custom ALT syntax (e.g., tokens like #color_red), instead of requiring the ALT to exactly match the variant name. Multi‑word colors should be handled in lowercase without separators.
Developer updates: The team confirmed this isn’t a quick tweak (theme updates require broader changes and Shopify approval) and couldn’t provide custom code. Later, they released an improved version matching the requested behavior.
Current status and actions:
- Feature delivered in Aurora v3.1.0 with a new setup guide. Merchants should update to v3.1.0 and follow the guide to enable the new behavior. The guide link is central to implementation.
Secondary question: Hiding variant options that never exist (permanently) while greying out out‑of‑stock ones.
- Not supported via theme settings due to Shopify’s standard Variant picker limitations. Unavailable options appear crossed‑out/greyed and the “Add to cart” button shows “Unavailable.” Achieving permanent hiding would require custom code outside theme support.
Resolution: Primary request resolved via theme update; secondary request remains open for custom implementation.
