Images Problem

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner encountered an issue where the wrong product image was displaying first on their product page. Despite arranging a large promotional image first in the media section, a variant-specific image (white brush) was appearing instead.

Root cause: The product page was defaulting to show the first variant’s assigned image rather than respecting the overall media order.

Solution provided:

  • Keep the desired main image (towel/promotional image) positioned first in the Media section
  • Place variant-specific images after the main image
  • Ensure variant images remain properly linked to their respective color/style variants

Outcome: The issue was successfully resolved after reordering images according to these guidelines. Multiple community members suggested checking variant image assignments and theme settings.

Hello guys, I have a question about my images. As you can see in the first image which i have posted, I want the (big image which is listed first), to be shown first in my product page (look at the 2nd. image) For some reason the first picture in my product page its the white brush. How am i able to change that?

Hi,

You must need to select big image(product info image) in Variant first product to display fast on product page front.

Hi @NikosBat , I think it is set to show the first variant image. What theme are you using?

Please Set Image Order with Variants .If you want to show the towel image before any variant image but still want each color to show the correct image when selected,

  1. Keep the towel image first in the Media section.
  2. Then, add the variant-specific images (White brush ) after that.
  3. Make sure the variant images are linked to the correct variants (this you’ve already done).
