So either you don't use that extension and use the default shadowbox of joomla, or you need to have all your images on the main product and you will need to edit the file "show" of the view "product" via the menu Display->Views and remove the code: $this->setLayout('show_block_img'); echo $this->loadTemplate(); Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC83NTA5MS1zaGFkb3dib3gtd29ya3Mtb24tZXZlcnl0aGluZy1leGNlcHQtdmFyaWFudHM/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[further](/forum/user/10547-further "View further's Profile")** - [![further's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/10547-further "View further's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/10547-further) Less More - Posts: 20 - Thank you received: 0 - - 14 years 4 days ago [\#75422](#75422) by [further](/forum/user/10547-further "View further's Profile") Replied by *[further](/forum/user/10547-further "View further's Profile")* on topic *[Re: Shadowbox works on everything except variants](/forum/3-bug-report/75091-shadowbox-works-on-everything-except-variants#75422 "I have set up Shadowbox Media Player plugin to Get Images to cycle through with arrows when the larger image popsup as you suggested in the documentation and it is working great on products that do not have additional variants.

Thank you for your quick reply. In fact we are using version 2.2.3 as you can see from the screenshot below, yet most of our .php files are from version 2.2.1 We did start out by testing the free version 2.2.1 and proceeded to purchase the essential version after testing. When we installed essential version it automatically updated to version 2.2.3 Are we missing something here?

So when you update, you keep your overrides. It is the base of the feature of the overrides. So if you have an override for a view originally made in HikaShop 2.2.1, the used file will stay the same and the version indicate from "when" you made your override. You can remove your override and restore the original file (at this moment, from the current version : 2.2.3) or you can patch your override if you want to keep your modifications.
