      I have this in my piklist plugin

       
add_filter('piklist_taxonomies', 'test_tax');
 function test_tax($taxonomies){
    $taxonomies[] = array(
     'post_type' => array('post','page', 'user') // multiple CPTs and Users?
     ,'name' => 'testtax'
      ,'show_admin_column' => true
      ,'configuration' => array(
        'hierarchical' => true
        ,'labels' => piklist('taxonomy_labels', 'testtax')
        ,'hide_meta_box' => false
        ,'show_ui' => true
        ,'query_var' => true

      )
    );
return $taxonomies;
}

      Thought it might work since I know they can be registered on users but it doesn’t.

      I saw this tutorial on registering a tax when a user logged in but it’s not really what I need. I just want to be able to assign terms from across different post types to a user too.

      Any ideas?

      This is done in the Piklist Demos so you can use that as a reference. You need to set object_type.

       'object_type' => 'user'

      Taxonomies can’t be registered for users and Post Types. Once you register the taxonomy you can assign it to Posts and Pages using the standard WordPress function register_taxonomy_for_object_type()
      `

      function my_register_taxonomy_for_cpts()
{
  register_taxonomy_for_object_type('testtax', 'post');
  register_taxonomy_for_object_type('testtax', 'page');
}
add_action('init', 'my_register_taxonomy_for_cpts');

      Thanks, Steve.

      I’m now following this:https://piklist.com/user-guide/tutorials/display-taxonomies-as-a-dropdown-or-radio-buttons/

      but i’m placing the below in the /users folder and an referencing the test_tax (from the example in my first post) via get_terms. I see the meta-box and field but am not seeing the terms come back on the user’s profile (even though they do exist).

      
<?php
/*
Title: My User Metabox
Description: My cool new metabox
Taxonomy: testtax
Capability: manage_options

*/
piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
  ,'field' => 'testtax'
  ,'label' => 'Test Tax'
  ,'description' => 'Terms will appear when they are added to this taxonomy.'
  ,'choices' => array(
      '' => 'Choose Term'
    )
    + piklist(get_terms('test_tax', array(
      'hide_empty' => false
    ))
    ,array(
      'term_id'
      ,'name'
    )
  )
));

      Any suggestions?

      It’s working for me.

      When you click on ALL USERS in the left menu, is your taxonomy listed in the sub menu?

      Yes, the taxonomy does show in the users menu list.

      I am registering the taxonomy in a standalone piklist plugin and putting the user metabox stuff in my theme. Does that matter?

      No. Should be fine. Working for me. Try pulling at the get_terms() function and making it work. Once you get it to work you can put it back into your field.

      Got it working. I had to tamper with the settings a bit. I had some things missnamed.

      Thanks!
