      Hello all,

      I’m working on a website and I need to add different categories into a custom post type. Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction? I checked out documentation and I couldn’t see anything.. unless I’m being stupid?

      Thanks

      Ben.

      n.b I’m using a plugin to achieve the custom post types instead of directly into WordPress.

      @bens– I assume you mean you want to add a custom taxonomy to a custom post type, correct? We do this in the built-in Piklist Demo. This doc will show you how to register a custom taxonomy to a custom post type.

      Let us know if that helps.

      Hi Steve, thats sort of what is required. I am talking to somebody with experience with Piklist today and if I find another way of doing it I will post it back here!

      Many Thanks

      Ben.

      Hi Ben,

      If you need “sort of” more help, you need to explain to us a bit more next time. Creating CPTs and attaching categories to it are usually simple tasks.

      You mention that you have created your own CPT using a plugin, which plugin are you using? (wp-types, Custom Post Type UI??). Check on your plugin if you have an option to add taxonomies. If they do, you can added directly from there.
      Do you want to create a custom taxonomy or simple use the default wordpress taxonomies?

      If you want to create your own taxonomy (categories or tags) the wordpress way, then check this website: http://generatewp.com/taxonomy/
      and check this line!
      register_taxonomy( 'taxonomy', array( 'YOUR_OWN_CPT' ), $args );
