Using baseline theme, how to show second image on hover on mobile?

Topic summary

A user is experiencing issues with the “Show second image on hover” feature in the Baseline theme. While the hover effect works in desktop mobile preview mode, it fails to function on actual mobile devices.

Key Points:

  • The setting is enabled in the theme options
  • Desktop preview shows the feature working correctly
  • Real mobile devices do not display the hover effect

Resolution Status:
A support representative confirmed that hover effects are not supported on mobile devices by design, as mobile interfaces lack traditional hover interactions. The user was advised to contact the theme developer for potential custom modifications if this functionality is essential.

The issue remains unresolved as a technical limitation rather than a bug.

Hi @peeguadai , thanks for reaching out.

I checked your request and would like to inform you that the hover effect does not work on mobile devices. In this case, I recommend you contact the theme developer for further custom modifications.
