Hi,

I’m trying to build a custom taxonomy that is private. The idea is that is exists in the WP admin interface but it is not available on the front-end (or to non-logged in users).

I’m using the following code to register my taxonomy. I’d like to make particular reference to 'public' => false – This is what does not seem to work. I’m using this based off this WP codex article – https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy#Example_Private_Taxonomy

add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'example_products');
function example_products($taxonomies)
{
	$taxonomies[] = array(
	'post_type' => 'example'
	,'name' => 'example_products'
	,'show_admin_column' => true
	,'public' => false
	,'configuration' => array(
		'hide_meta_box' => true
		,'labels' => piklist('taxonomy_labels', 'Products')
        ,'rewrite' => array(
			'with_front' => false
			,'slug' => 'example/product'
		)
	)
  );
return $taxonomies;
}

Also, it’s not made clear in the documentation what the reason for the ‘configuration’ array when setting up a taxonomy. I can’t find it in WP’s docs, so I’m assuming it is a Piklist thing, but it’s not clear when something should or shouldn’t go in the configuration array. Furthermore, this doesn’t seem to be in-line with registering post types (since registering post typed does not seem to require the use of the configuration array).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
