Yes it does, because the listings site was/is created in the multisite installation, but it’s virtually not the same as the listings site that is actually there.
Managing a multisite needs a bit of practice 🙂 Some plugins and themes are not compatible with multisite, so you should first check if the plugins you want to use on your listings site are compatible with multisite installations.
In my opionion what you need to do is:
1. Backup everything – all the sites, files, databases everything.
2. Delete the public_html/listings directory completely
3. From what I can see from the listings config file the listings wordpress uses the “robborko_wor7” database, you should delete that as well (but first backup of course)
4. Now, log in back to your main site at warwickpost.com/wp-admin and open up the network admin sites panel options
5. Delete the listings site from the sites list – it should be still there
6. Now add a new site – listings
7. That’s it, no files are needed, nothing, if you then go to warwickpost.com/listings url you should see the new wordpress site.
Virtually you will have now a main site and a listings site + a network administrator panel. Some plugins need to be installed through the network administrator panel (such as ajax search pro) some of them not.
It’s a bit hard to get used to it, but as long as you have your backup files it’s going to be all right – you can restore everything if something goes wrong.

I hope this will help you a bit with the multisite madness 🙂
