Strangely enough it also didn't reset the views either. Once I reinstalled it still had my custom changes to the product view page. So obviously it kept it stored somewhere. I deleted all of the hikashop database tables and made sure the component/com_hikashop folder was gone. Could this issue be because I started with an older version of hikashop and upgraded and it's not upgrading the description to be processed by the content plugins?

What am I doing wrong?")* Hi, No no, the processing of content plugins in descriptions is there since almost the first version of HikaShop and it works for everyone else. So it doesn't come form HikaShop. I think that your problem comes from your content plugin which refuses to load when not on a joomla article page. This happens sometimes based on how the plugin was coded. If you really want to use that plugin, you should ask your plugin provider's support for help on that one. Otherwise, you should try with another content plugin. Around 80% of content plugins should be compatible with products and categories descriptions.
