I’ve just added a third category to my site and I’ve run into an issue. I have 110 listings in my new category, and they reflect that appropriately on the listings and when I export a csv. However, when I view Listings>Listing Categories, the category shows 0 listings.

I’m assuming this is the issue behind what originally stood out to me. On the homepage, I have a category dropdown, but this new third category isn’t showing. I’m assuming it’s because somehow the site thinks that category has zero listings, even though it has 110. Can you help me?

Also, I went into a listing and reselected the category to see if re-saving would help, to no avail. Just FYI 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hi Megan Kempf,

Thanks for your post. Yes, each listing is required to have at least one category. If it still doesn’t work for you, please share your Website WP admin access here in private reply and we’ll troubleshoot this further for you.

If you imported the listings, try the term count tool

WP Backend – GeoDirectory – Status – Tools – Term count -> Run
