Test Mode not working?

    I am have three products. 001, 002, 003.
    I have three cities. Toronto, Miami, New York.
    I have set up three rules:
    CA ON TORONTO (no category) 001 SHOW
    US FL MIAMI (no category) 002 SHOW
    US NY NEW YORK (no category) 003 SHOW

    I would expect that when I select TEST MODE for any one of these rules, that I would see ONLY the product that is chosen to SHOW for that particular city but this is not the case.

    I live in Toronto. When nothing is in TEST MODE, I see only the Toronto product. Good.

    When Miami rule is in TEST MODE, I see all three products.

    When New York rule is in TEST MODE, I see New York AND Toronto.

    Please help.

    It is possible the city you chose is not listed in the MaxMind database.

    I would think that major cities like New York and Miami would be included?

    How do I find out?

    I need to know whether this plugin is going to work for us.

    Thanks.

    A good test would be to use just the country and no cities and set to test mode and see if that works. This will tell you if something is wrong that is not related to the cities.

    The test mode works ONLY if the rule being tested is sitting as the last row in the list of locations. Is this what you would expect? And if so, how do I know that if I reorder the list of locations, the rule will continue to function as expected? Thanks!

    Do you mean test mode does work even with cities but only if it is in the last row in the rules?

    Yes, that sounds right. With cities or without cities, the test mode works only when it is in the last row in the rules.

    Ok thanks for the info, let me check on that.

    Ok I just did a few tests and it is working for me. I put the rule on the very top as the test ( I have 3 rules ) and it works just fine. But do remember that rules towards the bottom supercedes rules on the top.

    In your test, are your rules set to HIDE or SHOW?

    It appears to work fine for me when I set the three rules to HIDE. It is when I set them to SHOW (which is what I need in order to keep things the simplest) that it gets problematic.

    At that point, when I check the TEST MODE for either the first or second rule, it makes it so that the rules FOLLOWING are also operating as if in test mode (ie. showing me products as though I am in three cities at once).

    I set them to hide. I will try show. But a easy way maybe to set all to hide first rule and second rule, use show to show it where you need.
