Hi @Dekanten

Please add this CSS code at the bottom of your base.css file to remove hover affect on image

.card-wrapper:hover .media.media--hover-effect>img:first-child:only-child {
    transform: none !important;
}

@Dan-From-Ryviu @Moeed I tried both methoods but they didnt work, maybe are my base/theme files messed up or something, anywhere else i can try this codes? :slightly_smiling_face:

You can open theme.liquid file, add this code above tag


@Dan-From-Ryviu I tried the code several places without luck, anything else we can try out? You are the masters @Moeed :slightly_smiling_face:

This CSS effectively disables the transformation effect applied to the images on hover. However, after making this change, the links that allow clicking on the images to be redirected to the corresponding collection no longer work. Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can anyone suggest what might be causing the clickable links to become unresponsive? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

THANK YOU!!!

I have tried sooo many things and other people’s answers and only YOU fixed the issue!!!

so THANK YOU!!!
