Hi, I’m using the ‘Impulse’ theme. I would like to show the featured image (first image) rather than the image of the first variant when the page is initially loaded. So when the user clicks on the item to get to the product page, main product image to stay until the user selects a variant. Please help.
Topic summary
A user seeks to display the product’s featured image instead of the first variant’s image when a product page initially loads in the Impulse theme.
Initial Solution Provided:
- One contributor suggests modifying the liquid file (typically
product-template.liquid) by replacing:{% assign featured_image = product.selected_or_first_available_variant.featured_image | default: product.featured_image %}- With:
{% assign featured_image = product.featured_image %}
- This solution reportedly worked for some users on earlier Impulse versions.
Ongoing Challenge:
- Multiple users with Impulse 7.1 and 7.2 cannot locate the suggested code in their theme files.
- One user shares their current code snippet, which differs from the original solution, indicating theme structure changes across versions.
- Several follow-up requests remain unanswered, suggesting the original fix may not apply to newer Impulse versions.
Status: Unresolved for Impulse 7.1+ users. The discussion remains open with multiple participants seeking updated guidance for recent theme versions.
Impulse is made by archetypethemes , and is a premium theme meaning most contributors don’t have access to it’s code like they would with a free theme.

Hi Boram,
You need to change code in liquid file, find liquid file where product information render (mostly used product-template.liquid).
replace the code with:
{% assign featured_image = product.selected_or_first_available_variant.featured_image | default: product.featured_image %}
Try changing it to:
{% assign featured_image = product.featured_image %}
Thank you.
Have a good day:)
Thank you so much.
Always welcome 
This worked! Thank you!
