  1. Hello. I used these two lines of code into the snipets plugin. The lightbox feature was removed, clicking on the product image does not open anything now. Great.
    But whenever I hover the mouse over the active image, I can see wordpress zooming in around 1 or 2 pixels (I see the image sliding to the sides just a tiny bit, its annoying). I can’t seem to get rid of this behavior. I could just set the product image a bit smaller, but we already have 1500 product images uploaded, so that is not an option. I just want to hover the mouse over the image and nothing happen. No clicking (done) and no zooming either. Thanks
