# Place_ID Shortcode Refreshing Problem

 * Hi,
 * I added 2nd location via shortcode like this:
 * [reviews_rating theme=”columns two” summary=false limit=4 excerpt=120 place_id
   =”ID_GOES_HERE”]
 * But the problem here is that it’s not refreshing/not showing the newest/latest
   reviews.
 * This is not the issue for the 1st location that has been added via plugin settings.
 * How we can force refreshing for those that are added this way?
 * Thanks

 * [@stephenkrem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenkrem/) This plugin 
   only supports one active location at a time – any additional locations added 
   will be set as the default and regular updates performed on these, but the other
   locations will remain unchanged.
 * You will be able to select specific locations by their place_id, but the reviews
   and data associated with this will remain static (unless you switch between them
   manually).
 * The place_id parameter in the shortcode just allows you to select from each set
   of reviews – it just reflects what’s in the catalogue and doesn’t initiate further
   data collection through the Places API.
 * If you want to compare the retrieved data with your current reviews, go to this
   tab in the settings. Only the most relevant reviews are returned, not necessarily
   the most recent.
 * I am planning to release a premium multiple location version of this plugin if
   there’s a demand. Drop me an email at wordpress dash plugins at designextreme
   dot com.
 * I hope this answers your question.

 * [@designextreme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/designextreme/) thank you.
 * Is there any way we can refresh this manually for now?
 * Thanks.

 * [@stephenkrem](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stephenkrem/) Yes, sure – 
   occasionally, switch between your two locations and Save in the plugin’s settings
   | Setup. This will manually collect new reviews, totals and information using
   the Places API.
 * I also recommend setting each place, then populating the back catalogue of reviews
   using HTML Import.
 * If you drop me an email, I will notify you when the multiple location version
   is available as this will be fully automated.

 * It works by switching location IDs. I sent you an email to notify me when you
   release multiple location version.
 * Thanks.
