Hi,

The image does not change when I select a different color.

I used the Dawn theme, the variant images does not change when I select a different variant color.

For the listing, I used a csv file with external image links (from dropbox) which was accessble.

Is there any way that this can be fixed by editing the CSV file or by modifying the code?

Hi @dsc7898 ,

The issue can be resolved by modifying the code or manually assigning the correct variant images in the Shopify dashboard.

If you prefer the manual method, go to the product settings in your Shopify admin and ensure that each variant (e.g., Black) has the corresponding image assigned.

Thanks!

Hi CodingFifty,

Thank you for the response.

I tried assigning it one by one manually in the ‘Product’ detail page as a test, but it didn’t work properly.

So I researched and applied several ways to modify the code, but they all failed.

Do you know of any good references to fix it?

Thanks,
