Variation picture not changing on selection of each variation DAWN 11

Topic summary

Main issue: In the Dawn 11 theme, the main product image on the product page does not change when selecting different variants (e.g., size/color), despite this behavior appearing in the demo store.

What was suggested:

  • Enable the product-grid hover image setting (shows a second image on hover in collection/grid). This applies to product cards, not the product page variant image swap.
  • Ensure each variant has its specific image assigned in the Shopify admin. The poster confirmed these are set.

Current status:

  • Hover image in grids works as expected; the problem is specifically the variant selection on the product page not updating the main image.
  • Variant-specific images are already linked, so the usual configuration fix did not resolve it.
  • The poster wonders if having more than one variant/option could be causing the issue, but there’s no confirmation.

Notes:

  • Screenshots were shared to show settings and variant configurations.
  • No definitive solution or root cause identified yet; the thread remains unresolved.

Hi All,

Variation picture changes on selection of each variation - The DAWN THEME DEMO STORE shows that the variation picture changes upon clicking different variations - however this does not work for me has anyone else had this issue with DAWN?

Hi Makka,

Yes hover over is working it is the variant selection in the product page that isnt.

Hi @damage ,

Have you added variant specific images in the admin panel?

I am wondering is it because i have more than 1 variant?
