    I am currently implementing the Evolve plus theme on a localhost version of my website. The current way the product gallery is displayed is not satisfactory. I have uploaded a screenshot to illustrate my problem:

    https://prnt.sc/gt27n1

    On the left hand side, the new product gallery is shown, while on the right, my current (live version) of the website is shown. I think that in the new version it is unclear to users that there are more than 4 photos available, as you can only access #5-8 by using the flex-direction-nav elements. Users will often only use the preview images under the main image to scroll through the images, which means they will never be aware of the other images.

    I have searched for ways to display multiple rows of preview images in the current setup, but found that there is no easy way to do this due to the fact that the flex-control-nav will slide to the left. When on the woocommerce site, however, I found that they have a new setup for the product gallery which seems like a great improvement (also including zoom functionality). For info see https://woocommerce.wordpress.com/2017/02/28/adding-support-for-woocommerce-2-7s-new-gallery-feature-to-your-theme/

    My question is threefold:
    – To your knowledge, is there an easy way to display multiple rows of preview images in the default setup?
    – Does your theme include any options to change the way the product gallery is displayed?
    – Does your theme support the functions described in the url above (such as zoom)? If not, are there any plans to support them in the future?

    Hi,

    Please add below custom css to display multiple rows of preview images
    .flexslider .flex-viewport .flex-control-nav {
    width: auto !important;
    margin-left: 0px !important;
    }

    Thank you

    Any idea on the support of functionalities such as zoom?
