But that’s the point that l is exactly what I did. You cannot even add the variation images in that manner without purchasing the Woocommerce plugin which I have purchased.

That’s the point I am making I have purchased the plugin for the functionality to add variation images however the theme does not use those variation gallery images in the proper manner.

There is no other way to add variation gallery images. Adding the images is not the problem it is the way the are displaying on the front end. They should be used the exact same way that all the main product image and gallery images are used but they aren’t. That is what needs to be fixed.
