Location Doesn't Work Consistently

I changed themes from Elegant Theme’s Extra to the Directory Starter, then the Supreme Theme, then back to Directory Starter. I chose to try the Directory Starter for now while I learn V2.

Right away the sidebar widget “Location” and “Location Switcher” where not working. When clicking on a Location in the sidebar widget it showed nothing in Shelby even though there is. I deleted the listing and added a completely different new listing in Shelby and it’s not showing either.

I added another listing, this time to a different city, Kings Mountain. Kings Mountain didn’t show as a city option to search in either location widget or location switcher widget.

When I removed listings and there’s none in a city the city appears still. Like now, there’s no listings for Light Oak, they’ve been deleted. But, I still see Light Oak.

I switched back to Extra Theme and I placed the widgets in the sidebar area for this theme. They started working. I noticed they were now pointing to the right URL. Before it wasn’t showing “Location” in the URL. I suppose this may be due to the permalink issue that was resolved recently?

I switched back to Directory Starter and now it’s working better. In both Extra and Directory the only thing that appeared resolved was the Shelby location working. The location widgets still didn’t show kings mountain. I edited the listing and saved it and that appeared to resolve it.

Now the location Light Oak is still in the widgets when it shouldn’t be since there’s no listings. I know I can manually remove it. I suppose this may not matter as long as I can control it until the site has more listings at least.

Then I went to add another listing somewhere else. I pasted into the social media importer: https://www.facebook.com/barleysinspindale/ and noticed an Adjax notice (see at end).

I submitted the listing. This was in another city, Spindale. However, I noticed Spindale didn’t show in the Location widgets. I went to edit the listing and it’s showing Shelby instead of Spindale (I must have overlooked this, lol). So, it seems the importer was wrong but with just the city. It did capture the right street address though. I looked on the facebook page and I didn’t see where they even put their address. But somehow it got the street not the city.

Then I added a listing manually. This time it worked perfect. The city shows in the location widgets. However, when I select “near me” in the location switcher it doesn’t appear to work when it’s in the sidebar (see image).
