Custom post type’s category’s slug

    Hi,
    I need a custom post type (let’s say customer story). I don’t want to use the WP core’s categories, but the custom one. I edit the post type, and at the very bottom, I uncheck “Categories (WP Core)”, and check “Categories”. Now, by clicking on the “View post types” I see, that under “taxonomies” I have a new one, called “fl-builder-template-category”. Why does the slug takes this value? I would expect something like “customer_story_category” or something.
    I have up to date core, and plugins, and I have beaver builder and beaver themer installed as well.
    Please advise. Thanks.

    Looks like you’re ending up re-using Beaver Builder’s template category taxonomy on your post type, which is why it’s taking on that value. The “detail of it listing itself as “Category” is because we use the “singular name” value when listing these out.

    Probably going to be best to create your own “category” taxonomy than use this already listed one. Otherwise you’re potentially going to be fighting category terms between the two places.

    I see.
    Do you have any guesses, why does it end up using BB’s taxonomy?

    Because it was listed and you checked that item.

    I uncheck "Categories (WP Core)", and check "Categories".

    That “categories” you checked was the one provided by Beaver Builder. It’s generically named for the labels, which is likely causing the confusion. Unchecking and saving the post type settings should get it removed again, but then you’ll need to create your own dedicated taxonomy to use in it’s place.

    I see, thank you very much.
