I recently noted that the variant pictures are no longer changing. I tried adding a new product because I thought it was broken, but it’s the same. Do I need to upgrade the theme or is this a known issue?

Hi @svepia Have you assigned images to variants. Normally images are changing based on images assigned to variants.

Hi,

Hope this will help

  • Try latest Dawn version
  • Make a switch if the upgrade fixes the issue

Yes, images are assigned - but I upgraded the theme and it solved the problem.
