Topic summary

A user is experiencing an issue with the Dawn theme where product pages display the first variant’s image instead of the designated main product photo. The desired behavior is for the main photo to appear initially, with variant images only showing when customers select specific variants.

Current Problem:

  • Main photo is configured in the product backend
  • First variant photo displays on page load instead
  • Store: kemeti.com (password-protected)

Attempted Solution:
Another user provided JavaScript code to be added to theme.liquid above the </body> tag, with step-by-step implementation instructions.

Status: The proposed solution did not resolve the issue. The problem remains unresolved and requires further troubleshooting.
