Product variant

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A user reports that product variant images fail to switch when selecting the first variant, though subsequent variant selections work correctly. The issue occurs in the Local 2.6.2 theme by KrownThemes.

Proposed solutions:

  • Manually trigger the image update on page load using the default selected variant
  • Add support for checking the first/default variant image, as the theme currently lacks this functionality
  • Reference Shopify’s Dawn theme logic for implementation guidance
  • Contact KrownThemes support for assistance

The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution, awaiting either theme developer intervention or custom implementation by the user.

While selecting product variants, the corresponding images are not switching as expected. Currently, the image updates only when selecting the second variant onward it does not switch instantly upon selecting the first variant.

We require the image to update immediately on the first variant selection as well, ensuring a smooth and consistent user experience.

Theme is lacking support for checking the first or default variant image. Reach out to theme devs or add support yourself (use logic from Dawn).
