Added US cities, but plugin removed states

    Hi and thank you for this plugin. I’ve used it to create a zone that ships to certain US Cities in the Minneapolis, MN area. However, in doing so, a previous zone to ship to surrounding States no longer populates. In fact, the states are no longer available at all for the US. I must be missing something. Can you point me in the right direction?

    Thank you,

    Hi Pradhan,
    Use the ‘Bulk Select Tool’ (plugin settings) to insert all the cities of certain states to some shipping zone. The ‘Zone regions’ field accepts cities and states (codes or names).

    Thank you, but perhaps I was not clear. I was able to successfully create the cities to which I am shipping. However, before installing the plugin, Woocommerce allows you to select specific states in the USA. For example, United States–Minnesota; United States–Nebraska.

    My client ships to 6 states as such under a flat rate. Before I implemented the Cities Shipping Zone plugin, I was able to create a zone which included those states. However, AFTER implementing the plugin, the states disappeared altogether as an option…thus that zone stopped functioning. Individual states are no longer listed at all in the Region dropdown.

    I did NOT use the Bulk Select to create the cities. Are you saying that if I used the Bulk Select option, the states would have remained?

    Thanks again,
    Pradhan

    There is only option to select cities inside shipping zones, and not states, in order to create shipping zone for a state, you will have to put all its cities in the shipping zone, which can be acheived using the ‘Bulk Select Tool’.

    Hello Condless, and thanks for your effort. I am really trying! And I think I finally got it working…May I ask, is there any way to show the state with the City? For example, I am shipping to IL and WI and they both have the cities Madison. Is there any code to differentiate these?

    All of the 6 states to which we ship will have the same flat rate shipping method. Is there a best suggested method for doing this. IOW, is it better to create a zone for each separate state, or 1 zone that contains all the cities in those 6 states?
    Thanks,
    Pradhan

    Hi Pradhan,
    1. Try to enable the ‘State Filters’ option (via the plugin’s settings)
    2. If it will stay always the same flat rate shipping for all of the 6 states- 1 zone for all of them.

    Thanks for the advice. I will give that a shot.
