Hi again,

the biggest problem is due to tables left from wordpress business directory plugin.

Given that the plugin has been removed already, can I delete them all?

Thanks for letting me know.

No, these tables are used only by that plugin and you don’t have it installed, so they are just sitting there.

Ok,

So yesterday I added more listings via upload. Today I noticed that some of the new listings I created went to http://vapestores.com/listings/united-states/mississippi/ and others went to http://vapestores.com/listings/united-states/mississippi-1/ from the same csv upload.

These were from the same csv upload, so i don’t understand why some were put in correct tag and others were not.

When A user sets their location to Mississippi they do not see the listings with the -1.

When uploading new listings by CSV to existing locations, the entries have to match exactly to what is already in the database.

For example mississippi and Mississippi is not the same, and will create new regions in the database.
The same will happen if you by accident put a space in front: Mississippi is not the same as space-Mississippi.

Also, the database will treat United States and United States of America as different countries.

Coding needs to be exact. You need to understand you are dealing with a machine, not a person that would know what you mean when you use different names for the same thing.

I understand exactly that. But again, you are misunderstanding me I think. The State, country were exactly the same for all of them, i copy pasted same word in csv. Some went to correct correct region tag, others went new created region tag with -1. I can send you the csv and you will see that the country and state were exactly the same for both.
