Topic summary

A user is struggling to change color swatch images on their Shopify product pages despite having color swatches already displaying.

Attempted Solutions:

  • Followed a tutorial from fluorescent.co, but their theme lacks the settings mentioned in the guide
  • Tried the BSS: Product Variants Options app, but custom options aren’t displaying on the product page after setup

Additional Goals:

  • Display color swatches on product pages when scrolling through products (without using add-ons)
  • Change swatch images for specific colors

Current Issues:

  • Cannot locate where to enable/change color swatch pictures in theme settings
  • Color options in filters are taking up significant vertical space due to vertical stacking
  • Uncertain whether missing theme features or if this is a paid theme limitation

The user has checked theme documentation multiple times but remains unable to find the solution. One community member asked if they’ve reviewed the theme documentation, which they confirmed.

Hello everyone.

I’am having a big problem with color swatches. I have color swatches displayed in my product page, but i cant change color swatch image anywhere.

I have tried this: https://fluorescent.co/help/context/swatches#enable-swatches
But i don’t have Theme settings like in the tutorial explained.

I have tried BSS: Product Variants Options Add-on but custom options aren’t displayed in product page after adding custom options to products.

I would like to have color swatches showing up without any add-ons. It should be possible with my theme.

I just simply cant find where i can change color swatch image for specific colors. I also would like to have color swatches displayed in Products page when scrolling down products (without using add-ons).

Am i missing something here or is this paid theme just a scam?

Hi @PressMark

Did you check document of your theme?

Yes i have checked documents multiple times and tried everything but i cant figure out where to enable pictures on color swatch. Also colors shown in Filters are taking half of the webpage vertically because color options are stacked vertically.
