 * If I go to the WP admin dashboard and Edit a Listing, The WP edit screen comes
   up.
   Because the Category is Mandatory, I try to edit it.FIrst time I get the 
   drop down and choose what I want the Category to be. But it does NOT stay there.
   When I go back to the drop down again, it wont drop down for me to choose a type??
   And 2. There is NO option in the Account Edit screen to change this either.??
   So this means if it is in Pending Review Mode waiting to be published, I can 
   not update it because those fields are NOT filled in because they are mandatoryNeed
   help sorting this please

 * Hi,
   Not sure what happened there. We did not face these type of issue. I see 
   you created more tickets. I think, you should check documentation to understand
   the workflow of it.Could you provide any screenshot related with these issues?
 * Thank you

 * Ok seems to work now. I am thinking it was because I didnt have the “Listing 
   Types” Set in the Categories and it was getting confused. Since I fixed those
   the categories and added the Listing types to each, it now has fixed it….
