Hi @robbiepress
Thanks for your question.
We removed location as a field over a year ago because it was not supposed to be there, and because it was causing a lot of confusion and errors, unfortunately.
If you’d like to have location data on your ads, you have a few options:
1. Use the Free plugin: Add text to the Ad Details field to explain to users that they should include location information in their ads.
2. Purchase the Regions Module, as it was built specifically for adding location data to ads, and will give you the most flexibility. You can learn more about that module here: https://awpcp.com/downloads/regions-module/
3. Purchase the Extra Fields Module and add any region-type data you’d like. Although this does not offer as many options for sorting listings by location as the Regions Module does, this would allow you to create a field and include the location data you’d like, and would also allow you to add other types of fields that are specific to your site. You can learn more about that module here: https://awpcp.com/downloads/extra-fields-module/
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions or issues!
