A Shopify store owner is experiencing an issue where selecting a product variant in the Featured Product section doesn’t update the displayed color/image to match the chosen variant from the dropdown menu.
Background:
A company previously fixed this functionality, but only for the product page itself
The fix was not applied to the Featured Product section used elsewhere on the site
The variant selector currently works on product pages but not in the Featured Product section on other pages
Current Status:
A support representative (Anastasia) is attempting to understand the requirements
She has located the website and confirmed the issue: variant selection should trigger image changes in the Featured Product section
The store owner has offered to schedule a video call to demonstrate the issue and clarify requirements on a shared screen
Resolution Status: Ongoing - awaiting further discussion to determine the solution approach (theme modification, theme change, or custom theme creation).

One of the limitations of this theme is that when one selects the variant on the left, the store does not actually update the colour variant from the dropdown category.
A year or so ago, I had a company fix this, however they have only made this change in the Product page, and not in the Featured Product section of the theme, which means that this functionality is limited to only the product page, and I cannot use the “Featured Product” section in other pages of the site.
I need some more details to assist you. Can you please give more details about your goal? Are you looking to modify the existing theme, change to a different theme, or create a custom theme? Then I can provide the most relevant solution for your case.
I found your website and I think I got your point - you want a product image to change according to the variant a customer chooses in the dropdown menu.
As I understand it works on a product page now, right? But where can I see the “Featured Product” section? Can you please send a link?
