Lost "Product Color Attribute" Only in Category View

[techtech]

Afternoon,

An interesting issue the regenerate thumbnails system have been unable to fix. I have 100 products that show all information correct on their product pages however when viewing 1 product in their category view they don't show the color boxes underneath but cleared out squares for the colors. It doesn't affect purchasing or anything but i'd like to get back the product attribute color squares that correctly displayed when loaded in. (I have used google inspect on the clear squares however it doesn't lead to an image file to find and replace for a clear box back to the color black for instance.)

Any further ideas to try?

Thanks!

Here is an image of the issue. As you can see the color attribute boxes on the category view are without color and all clear. Once the product is chosen and on the product page they appear.

Any ideas?

On further analysis, all the product attributes in which I use a photo to show an attribute does not show in the category view on any product. If using the HEX color picker, those show without issue on any part of the site.

Anyone have this issue recently. Prestashop Build 1.6.1.4

Further research using Google inspect:

 

The <li> list code for the product on the category view uses a HEX color code string but it's wrong and remains clear as an image was placed for that attribute color, not a HEX code.

The product page shows a correct image file for the product attribute with the appropriate <li> code thus not calling wrong code of a HEX color option.

SOLVED. I had a theme file with no code in it. An older post on the subject was assisted by @vekiaand he recommended the below:

I found the file in my theme folder and added it in. Solved the issue!
