When I try to add a product I get:

{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Mapper for [created\_at] conflicts with existing mapping in other types:\n[mapper [created\_at] is used by multiple types. Set update\_all\_types to true to update [format] across all types.]"}],"type":"illegal\_argument\_exception","reason":"Mapper for [created\_at] conflicts with existing mapping in other types:\n[mapper [created\_at] is used by multiple types. Set update\_all\_types to true to update [format] across all types.]"},"status":400}

My ES mappins looks like this:  
**curl -XGET [http://localhost:9200/marketplace](http://localhost:9200/marketplace)**

{  
"marketplace":  
{  
"aliases":{},  
"mappings":  
{"users":{"properties":{"created\_at":"type":"date","format":"strict\_date\_optional\_time||epoch\_millis"},"created\_at\_sortable":{"type":"date","format":"dateOptionalTime"},"email":{"type":"string"},"first\_name":{"type":"string"},"id":{"type":"string"},"last\_name":{"type":"string"},"last\_visited\_at":{"type":"date","format":"strict\_date\_optional\_time||epoch\_millis"},"products\_count":{"type":"long"},"status":{"type":"boolean"}}}},"settings":{"index":{"creation\_date":"1460230994685","number\_of\_shards":"5","number\_of\_replicas":"1","uuid":"1\_nxxYF8TaaDEcDToI8xkQ","version":{"created":"2030199"}}},"warmers":{}}}

Help PLEASE!!

**EDIT2**  
the new map looks like this:  
{"id":"570a0eb0c6fe99f1428b4568","email":"codrut.predoi@yahoo.com","first\_name":"Codrut","last\_name":"Predoi","products\_count":0,"status":true,"created\_at":"2016-04-10","created\_at\_sortable":"2016-04-10","last\_visited\_at":"2016-04-10"}

**EDIT3**

Unfortunately...I installed the phpmarketplace and my knowledge of php is limited. I have no idea how to get that new mapping product... I would love to though...
