Ah, I just updated the plugin and my custom pins remained. Bravo!

Thanks again.

I did update all my custom icons in the icon folder (I just did it again and problem persists). I discovered this folder gets overwritten soon after I had patted myself on the back for figuring out how to add custom icons this way. I should note, I discovered this because an update would remove ALL my custyom pins and the map would show no pins of any kind. It would literally be a blank map and then I would re-upload the custom pins and they would show properly. So, this latest update resulting in the blue pins showing is doubly different compared to previous behaviour.

I don’t disagree that my “solution” isn’t the best. I did so because I wanted a greater variety of pins that weren’t pictograph style. Under MISC there are four simple coloured pins (black, green, red, blue) and in URBAN there are two thumbtack style pins (gold, white). These are the only options for pins that are not the larger, circular style with an image in them. Those are great, don’t get me wrong, but not what I prefered for this specific application.

I wanted more options for colour with the small, simple pins. I’m using them to create a map with maybe a dozen different categories displayed together, with each category having a designated colour. I thus made my own squared thumbtack style pins (smaller than those in URBAN) in various colours (black, blue, gold, green, orange, purple, red so far). I’ve even made pins with two colours (red/black, red/purple, green/gold) to indicate they are contained in two categories.
