Group image still not working?

1. Check your theme customize

Some themes support this function "Hide other variants’ media after selecting a variant"

If you use the app's group image, you need to go to theme -> customize to turn off "Hide other variants’ media after selecting a variant".

This function and the app's group image function will conflict with each other.
