Hi @johnkostly1,
WooCommerce Indeed supports adding custom taxonomy and follows the WordPress standards.
I just tested this by adding a custom taxonomy for product post type and it works correctly.
You can also test and confirm this by adding a taxonomy using the below snippet:
function mywoo_custom_taxonomy_item() {
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Brands',
'singular_name' => 'Brand',
'menu_name' => 'Brands',
'all_items' => 'All Brands',
'parent_item' => 'Parent Brand',
'parent_item_colon' => 'Parent Brand:',
'new_item_name' => 'New Brand Name',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Brand',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Brand',
'update_item' => 'Update Brand',
'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate Brand with commas',
'search_items' => 'Search Brands',
'add_or_remove_items' => 'Add or remove Brands',
'choose_from_most_used' => 'Choose from the most used Brands',
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => true,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'brand', 'product', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'mywoo_custom_taxonomy_item', 0 );
Can you please try the above?
We can confirm the custom taxonomies are indeed working as expected with WooCommerce, there are many third party plugins built on top pf WooCommerce that uses custom taxonomy as the base and we haven’t had any reports/issues. I’d highly recommend you to rectify your code and check for any errors.
Let us know how it goes and feel free to ask if you have any further questions!
