Hello, a stop by me was changed as a coffee shop transitioned from one owner to another. While that was happening a business across the street changed it to their place of business. Now that business is gone and I can’t switch it back to the coffee shop. Every attempt gets rejected. Even funnier is the marker is still on the original business which is across the street from what it says it is. What can I do to fix this stop
Welcome to the forum, @mikeyboyhelper
I am not sure I follow you. Trying to change a Wayspot to something else is considered repurposing, which is not allowed. So don’t try to change the Wayspot to the business that is there.
You can do a location edit that you can’t do in game through help chat on the Wayfarer site Niantic Wayfarer
A speech bubble will pop up and a bot will get the information but a human will get back to you with a decision.
If the business that the Wayspot is for does not exist, you should report that Wayspot for removal. If the business that is there is eligible, you can submit that as a new nomination.

Yeah, the problem being is it was repurposed already and it shouldn’t have been. I’m trying to correct it to its original name/picture/etc but of course I can’t. How the heck did they do it? I’m scared to remove the stop because there’s a gym pretty close to it and I’d hate to cause the neighborhood to loose another stop on our hilltop.
Update: that spot is gone and the spot I was going to turn back into the poke stop is a power station now 
. Oh well, can’t spin em all. Thx for the help
Is the Wayspot being used as a Powerspot in an L17 S2 cell by itself? I have not seen this situation myself, where another Wayspot is removed, and the other left in the L17 is being used as a Powerspot. I wonder if it will be promoted to a Pokestop when the current Powerspot boss changes?
Pokemon Go syncs once a day, so it might not change immediately. For me on EDT, pokestops sync in around 2:30pm each day (sometime between 2-3)
You’ll just end up with an unspinnable Pokestop. It happened over here a few days ago. A painted power box was (unjustly) removed by Niantic and the trail marker that was in the same cell and would sometimes show up as a Power Spot became a Pokestop. Now, whenever the Power Spot is active, the Pokestop is completely unusable.
