I have no idea where an “&” came from in the coding but that line of code is working perfectly now.
One more follow up to the product swatch images-
See how slow this page takes to load? https://mvplegacy.com/product-category/apparel/t-shirts/
and also see how the variable images block the entire image? (Attached image)
Are the loading of all these variable images cause the slow load and if so can these variable images be removed leaving just the main image showing on the page for customers to click on the image to view the product page?
