 * Hi
 * I have a client who had his site created a long time ago, and they’ve always 
   used this plug in, with global variations. Basically he makes paintings and uses
   the global variations to showcase the paintings with his wood frames which he
   also makes. For some reason it has stopped working now which is very frustrating.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fglobal-variations-not-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * That is probably because you are running the free version. If you have a purchased
   version try to sync the license under WooCommerce > SVI > Account.
 * Check the status.
 * Cheers,

 * Hi
 * But still doesn’t explain why all the options went back to default. But never
   the less, could you tell me how to layer a global variation on top of the product?
 * So one picture (the variation) is slightly bigger than the product picture, and
   when they get layered it just sits on top of it and frames it.

 * Hello,
 * I dont know what level you are at in SVI but if you have a paid version and for
   some reason you jump to the free version the global attribute is lost in the 
   free version (not deleted unless you save over it).
 * SVI doesnt manipulate Images it works with the sizes available/registered in 
   your instalation.
    You may choose a size under WooCommerce > SVI > Global – Images
   from the available in your system.
 * Cheers

 * Hi
 * Yea I think it returned to the free version and when we upgraded to the expert
   version again we lost everything.
 * Right now when you choose a variation they show at the side, I want them to overlay
   the product picture:
 * [https://designkunst.dk/vare/christiania-plakat/](https://designkunst.dk/vare/christiania-plakat/)(
   Just choose any variation)
 * Also, they all show at once, which is also really weird. It’s just such a hassle
   needing to redo so much work because this plug in for some reason forgets everything
   when you don’t pay exactly when your subscription expires.

 * Hello,
 * That is because you choose the option to display the variation images under the
   Variations.
 * Hope it helps,
    Cheers

 * Hi,
 * I’m not familiar with this plugin, where would I change the position of the photos?
   Is it a preset, or an absolute position?

 * Hi,
 * The position is changed in the SVI galleries.
 * This forum is for free users. For paid version please open ticket at [http://www.smart-variations.com](http://www.smart-variations.com)
   according to the purchased plan.
 * Cheers,
    David
