I can’t add Categories to existing Post Type

    I created a custom post type and I have a few items created in the category. I’d like to add a category to the post, but when I go to edit the post type and near Built-in Taxonomies I click Categories, it won’t save. Is this because there is already data in there?
    Thanks for your help!

    If you’re referring to adding category support for the post type, there shouldn’t be anything preventing that value from being saved and that association made in CPTUI’s saved settings. Existing category terms shouldn’t prevent this, for example.

    If you’re talking about a post in the post type not managing to save a term from the categories, then I’m not sure what may be going on there.

    Odd. I have 10 custom categories and I can add Taxonomies/categories to all except for two of them. The settings are identical between those who can and can’t.
    When I click edit post types> Build in Taxonomies>and click Categories (WP Core) It won’t save the box as checked.
    I’ve disabled all plugins, changed the theme, and cursed loudly but no luck. If I can figure it out I’ll let you know, but if you have any suggestions as to where to look, please let me know. Thanks for a great plugin!

    Can you use the Debug Info tab under the Tools menu to send me the debug info? Should be a field below the textarea to enter an email address into. Send it to michael @ webdevstudios .com and I’ll see if I can recreate by chance.

    No idea what may have been going on, regarding the saving. I was able to get the WP core “category” taxonomy properly saved and associated with each post type.

    Here’s the JSON data to use on the Import Post Types tab from the Tools menu, if you wish to get things that way.

    Everything else should be just as you already have it.
