General Plugin Settings

In the general plugin settings of our variation additional images plugin you have can turn it on or off. Most important is, that the container selectors are 100% correct. By default you can use:

  • Image Container Selector
    The main image selector (css class or id). Example: .woocommerce-product-gallery__wrapper (flatsome) OR .woocommerce-product-gallery
  • Gallery Images Container Selector
    The gallery images selector (css class or id). Example: .product-thumbnails (flatsome) or .woocommerce-product-gallery

If none of the above options work. You need to find the surrounding container in your theme yourself.

  1. Visit a product page on your site.
  2. Right click on the product image and inspect element
  3. You will see a div parent object of that you can use the class selector
  4. Repeat that for the gallery ONLY if it is not the same, if it is the same selector put them into the gallery image field also.

  • Still show Variable Gallery Images
