Variation Gallery field missing & Sticky Gallery JS crash

Hi,

I am facing a critical issue on my WooCommerce website after updating to WoodMart v8.6.2, WoodMart Core v1.1.9, and WooCommerce 11.1.2.

The Variation Gallery (additional images per variation) fields have completely disappeared from the WP Admin under Products -> Variations. I can now only set the single main variation image, with no option to add a gallery to individual variations.

On variable product pages (PDP) where the “Sticky product images” feature is enabled, the page fails to render properly. Shortly after loading, the JS crashes with the following error in the browser console:
sticky-kit.min.js:1 Uncaught failed to find stick parent
followed by a TypeError in common.min.js.

This issue causes the sticky gallery to freeze and breaks the page layout for our customers when switching variations.

Could you please advise if there is a known patch or fix available for this compatibility issue?

Here are my site details:

WoodMart Theme Version: 8.6.2
WoodMart Core Plugin Version: 1.1.9
WooCommerce Version: 11.1.2
Page Builder: Elementor

Thank you in advance for your support, and I look forward to your reply.

Hello,

Please check how it works with the default WordPress theme and Woocommerce Storefront theme just to check whether the issue is with our theme or not. Also, please check the site with our theme but only with the theme default plugins activate, and deactivate all the 3rd party plugins from the site.

If it works fine with the default WordPress theme then provide the admin panel login details of the website to check it myself and help you out accordingly.

Best Regards

Hi,

I have tested the issue as requested:

With the default Storefront theme: The additional variation gallery field is NOT present in the WP Admin but the frontend works perfect.

With the WoodMart theme active (and all 3rd-party plugins deactivated): The additional variation gallery field is still missing in WP Admin. Furthermore, switching variations on the frontend causes a complete JavaScript crash with the following error in the browser console:
sticky-kit.min.js:1 Uncaught failed to find stick parent
&
common.min.js?ver=4.3.2:1 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘indexOf’)

Could you please clarify which plugin or setting WoodMart v8.6.2 now requires for the “Variation Gallery” feature so that the sticky product image layout functions properly without breaking?

I want to maintain my previous setup: a sticky image gallery on the left that changes dynamically to display the specific image gallery corresponding to the variation selected by the user.

Thank you, and I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hello,

We checked your website and could not reproduce the console errors you mentioned in your message.

Regarding the variation gallery, we can see that this feature is currently disabled on your website:

You can follow the WooCommerce instructions below to enable variation galleries:

Hi,

Thank you for your help. The variation images are now visible and working on the backend!

However, I noticed that JavaScript errors are still showing up in the browser console on product pages. You can check it on these product pages:

https://slalomfashion.gr/product/overshirt-collin-tiffosi/
https://slalomfashion.gr/product/kontomaniko-poukamiso-mao-henry-clothing/

The browser console still throws the following error:
sticky-kit.min.js:1 Uncaught failed to find stick parent

Could you please take a look at why this script is still throwing errors and causing issues with the sticky layout on variable products?

Thank you again for your assistance!

Best regards,

Hello,

Yes, we are aware of this error. It occurs when a variation is selected by default.

At the moment, it appears that this error does not affect any functionality, and everything works correctly. However, we will fix it in the next update.

Best Regards.
