For one of my products I have multiple variants of different color options. On my store, my variants are not being matched with the picture even though I have each picture up for each variant on the admin Products page. How can I fix this so when someone clicks on an option, the correct image of that variant pops up?
Topic summary
Issue: Variant selections (e.g., color options) don’t update the main product image on the storefront, despite correct image-to-variant mapping in the admin.
Attempts: One suggestion was to re-check variation images; the original poster confirmed mappings were correct and the storefront still showed only the first image.
Update: The original poster resolved it by enabling/disabling a setting in their theme, but did not specify which option.
Follow-ups: Multiple users report the same problem and asked for the exact theme setting. One tried a support-provided code edit without success.
Outcomes: No concrete solution steps or setting name were shared publicly; no confirmed fix beyond “a theme setting” being toggled.
Status: Ongoing. Key unanswered question: Which specific theme setting controls updating images when a variant is selected?
Hi @deeathletic , just recommend you check the images of your variations again.
On the admin side the pictures match the variants perfectly. Just don’t understand why on my store when you click the variant the appropriate picture doesn’t pop up. It just shows whatever picture was already first. I can see every picture on my store but clicking the variant name doesn’t change the picture associated with it. Anybody know how I can fix this?
I was able to get it resolved. It was something on the theme that had to be checked off.
Having the same problem. Can you tell me what you had to check off in your theme?
Omgosh im having the same problem, ive been stuck on it for 4 days, did you figure it out? I spoke to the support person and she sent me a link to rdit my coding but that didnt work ![]()
