# Destination dropdown shows a location twice

The destination dropdown in the search bar lists the same town twice.

**Why this happens.** SearchBar Pro builds the destination list from the taxonomies selected under its **Locations** settings. When both **Location** and **City** are enabled, and a town exists as both a location tag and a city, it appears twice in the list.

**How to fix it.**

1. Go to the SearchBar Pro **Locations** settings.
2. Set the source to the single taxonomy you actively maintain, usually **Locations**.
3. Save the change and reload the page.

Each destination then appears once.

If you plan to re-enable the **City** taxonomy later, also correct any misspelled city values in your PMS so they do not reintroduce duplicates.
