Custom taxonomy not shown in “Document Panels”

If you’re in a Gutenberg block editor, you need to also enable REST API in your custom Taxonomies for them to be able to show up in the block editor.

You can access this through, Edit Pods screen for the Taxonomy and REST API tab

worked! thanks @jimtrue

Awesome! Yeah that one was surprising to me as well, but makes sense. I’ve got to update our blog post to make sure it’s not just Custom Post Types but Taxonomy that you make REST API enabled if you want them to show up in the Block Editor.

How come 'show_in_rest' defaults to false if it’s required to be true to show up in the new editor?

Edit: Didn’t realize this was a plugin topic and not a general WordPress thread.

@mindshare That would be a question for WordPress ??

Also, not everyone _wants_ their Custom Post Types in the new Block Editor and definitely not everyone wants their Post Types or Taxonomies opened up to REST. We will probably make a decision on that one as WP gets closer to having 50% or higher using the Block Editor of changing our defaults for these as well.

Hello, this didn’t work for me! I created a CPT and custom taxonomies for it, I see them in the admin columns but when I enter to edit a custom post, I can’t see them at all. Is there anything else I have to do apart from enabling REST API on both CPT and Taxonomies?

Check your screen options to make sure they’re not ‘unchecked’. If they’re showing up in Admin Columns, they have to be Associated with the Post Type, which is the critical part.

If you’re still experiencing issues @boombalaya please drop onto our Slack Chat at https://support.pods.io/chat/ instead of dropping onto a resolved ticket.

Thanks @jimtrue . Should this be added to https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy?

That would be a question for the Docs team; it’s correct here:
https://developer.www.ads-software.com/reference/functions/register_taxonomy/

@jimtrue I don’t see in that doc either where its mentioned that to view in Gutenberg block editor 'show_in_rest' => true is required.

That again, would be something you would take up with the Docs team. We have our own docs to deal with at Pods. We can’t worry about WordPress’s being up to date.

It’s working for me when i changed ‘show_in_rest’ => true. thanks jim true for help.

I was already frustrated, why I didn’t see my custom taxonomies in my custom post type. Maybe you want to add a note, to activate rest api.

@whothephuc As Jim already mentioned, that is something for the Docs team in WP Core, not Pods.

@keraweb But when I’m using pods I’m not going to search for the solution in the Docs but in the plugin that I use. I would expect to find the answere somewhere in the plugin Settings.
