Add category to custom post type

I assume you want to be able to assign parent/child associations in this case? When creating the taxonomy, make sure that “hierarchical” is set to true for it.

I set “hierarchical” to true but the taxonomy still display as ‘Tags’ I want a ‘Category’ taxonomy to the post type. I want an entire new category taxonomy for this post

it worked.. but see my next comment.

On the inside page it displays as a category but when viewing all the posts in the wordpress admin menu there is no ‘Category’ column to sort by… any way around this?

It does display when i do a quick edit. I’ve also checked screen options and no option to display the category.

Are you talking columns in the listing of posts for the post type? For example when visiting this type of url? /wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=my_post_type

Yes, is there an option to have the ‘taxonomy’ show up in the column listing as how it would as the default post type?

Yes, should be. “Show Admin Column” true/false dropdown, I believe if I’m not mistaken.

Awesome. That helped. I missed this when setting up the taxonomy. Thanks for all your help and TIME of course!
