Thanks in advanced Sean R.")* Hello, I think that your problem is just coming from your product's variants description, you should : - Go to your **product page** - **Manage variants** - Set the **same** product description as the "main product" OR just **delete** all the variant's product description. Hope this will help you.

The product description for the parent product is simply: <p>Elegant bandeau maxi dress with twist front detail in digital print chiffon.</p> The slides are hard coded into the show_default.php (product) file, like so: <div id="hikashop_product_description_main" class="hikashop_product_description_main"> {slide=About this Product} <?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$this->element->product_description)); ?> {slide=Details &amp; Care} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut dictum congue tellus eu imperdiet. Phasellus enim libero, viverra eget mattis sed, dapibus id lacus. In vel felis sapien, porttitor eleifend lacus. Duis a tellus nisl, eu feugiat sem. Praesent nec mauris ac mi feugiat ultrices eget vel nunc. {slide=Delivery &amp; Returns} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut dictum congue tellus eu imperdiet.

So when you change the characteristic it just displays the default description instead of the modified one you added. The best is to simply delete the code displaying the variant description in the "show" file of the "product" view: <div id="hikashop_product_description_<?php echo $variant_name;?>" style="display:none;"> <?php echo JHTML::_('content.prepare',preg_replace('#<hr *id="system-readmore" */>#i','',$variant->product_description));?> </div> The following user(s) said Thank You: [reders](/forum/user/8228-reders "View reders's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzU4OTIzLXByb2R1Y3QtcGFnZS13aGVuLXNlbGVjdC1hLWNoYXJhY3RlcmlzdGljP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[reders](/forum/user/8228-reders "View reders's Profile")** - [![reders's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/8228-reders "View reders's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/8228-reders) Less More - Posts: 100 - Thank you received: 1 - - 14 years 2 months ago [\#59075](#59075) by [reders](/forum/user/8228-reders "View reders's Profile") Replied by *[reders](/forum/user/8228-reders "View reders's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Product Page - When Select a Characteristic](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/58923-product-page-when-select-a-characteristic#59075 "Hi, I am developing a site using Hikashop, the link to a product page is: www.s387718370.websitehome.co.uk/Proofs/...440#delivery-returns I have the product page set out how i need it, the issue i have is when i change the size characteristic the page is changing.

I just have another small problem, When the page is using the "show_default" file, the link for first small image is loaded like so: <a id="hikashop_image_small_link_first" class="hikashop_image_small_link" ... > When i select a characteristic, and the page uses the "show" file, the link for first small image is loaded like so <a class="hikashop_image_small_link" ... > I am using the css: \#hikashop_image_small_link_first img.hikashop_child_image { margin-left: 0; } to remove the margin-left from the first small image. I need the first image to be loaded with a different/additional class, how do i do this? Thanks Sean R.

That id attribute was not meant to be used for that in the first place. It will require that you hack the code of the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/image.php and change the code in the display function so that the class is added. But it's not simple since you can't know in that file if it's the first image or not. So it would require to pass an extra parameter from the views to that function so that it would know if it's the first one or not. Also, you can't add it as an id because otherwise the id wouldn't be unique on the page, and that would create problems for HTML validation so you will have to use a class instead. It's not impossible, but not easy to do I'm afraid.
