I have variable products set up with color and size attributes, for example, a product might have 2 variations; Green/Any Size and Grey/Any Size.

There is an image of the product in the corresponding color for each variation, but at the moment the image doesn’t switch unless a color AND size is selected (I’m aware this is how Wocommerce works).
I have to change the attributes every time i want to switch the images.
See the video:

I duplicated the website to a staging environment and i install the plugin “Variation Swatches for WooCommerce” and deactivate the “variations swatches” on the theme, and the behavior was better but didn’t do what i needed. With this plugin the images didn’t switch when i don’t have a size selected, but when the size is selecetd i don’t need to select it again for the images to change.
See here:

I would like to make it so that the image switches when JUST a color is selected. Can you tell me how to do it, and if it is possible without need to install other plugin?

Thank you so much.

Hello, Link&Grow,

Thank you for contacting us and for using XStore.

You do not need to use an additional plugin, just select “Primary Attribute” in Theme Options > WooCommerce > Shop elements > Variation Swatches.

We hope this information is helpful.

Kind Regards,

Hi,

Thank you for your quick answer.
I already have the primary attribute selected on theme options -> variation swatches.
See image here:

Do you want me to send access to the website?

Thank you so much.

Hi,

Those two products are the ones that only have the color variation, on that products everything is good.

The reason I opened this ticket, as I said in the first message, on products that have more than one variation (color and size) the image only changes when both variations are selected. There is a product image in the corresponding color for each variation, but currently the image does not change unless a color AND size are selected.

I would like to make it so that the image switches when JUST a color is selected.

Please try other product that have two variations, for example:
https://vsportswear.pt/produto/calcao-ecoflex/

Thank you so much.
Best regards

Hello,
I updated all plugins and theme. I cannot update WordPress to the latest version because the plugin that manages payment methods has not been tested in the new version.

This way I still have the same error.
However, I created a copy of the website so as not to compromise the production website, and I updated everything including WordPress.

And the behavior is the same, I need to have a size and color selected for the image to change, check here in this product:
https://vbora.linkandgrow.app/produto/calcao-ecoflex/

So with everything updated as requested, it didn’t solve the problem.

Do you have a demo that shows the intended behavior working?

Thank you,
Best regards

Hello,

I have an update, I confirm that the main image changes just by selecting the color attribute. But I noticed that the gallery does not appear, to appear the gallery you need to select a color.

For example in this product:
https://vsportswear.pt/produto/tshirt-master/

When selecting a color without selecting a size, we see that the color changes:
https://prnt.sc/oEK_LediZAMK

But if we select a size, the remaining images of that color appear:
https://prnt.sc/owt0AjdBDM9X

Is it not possible when changing the color to display all images of that color?

Best regards

Hello, Link&Grow,

You’re welcome!

“This is something you will implement in future updates?” – yes.

“I have an update, I confirm that the main image changes just by selecting the color attribute. But I noticed that the gallery does not appear, to appear the gallery you need to select a color.” – yes, this functionality did never persisted, so it is not a bug but a request for improvement.
“Is it not possible when changing the color to display all images of that color?” – the functionality you are inquiring about is currently unavailable and cannot be implemented swiftly. We kindly ask that you forward your request to our development team by submitting it on our task board at the following link: https://www.8theme.com/taskboard/

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Kind Regards,
