    Hello, I need to create taxonomy to either one customer field like sizes, colors in which we will put same data in that field like color black to product in which each product which is black, i m sure I can create taxonomy for this using cpt-ui? if so would be you able to tell me how, lets says customer field metakey is mm_custom_color

    another way to achieving the same thing is by attributes, and I have create a color attributes also, i was told that all the attributes are like this pa_color, or pa_size etc. but as I see it, attributes are not taxonomy…!

    how to make attributes taxonomy by using the cpt-ui, someone says where it says taxonomy slug, just type pa_color but it says slug has been used already so i assume that was not the way to get it done.

    Thanks

    If I’m reading everything correctly, you’re trying to add more details to your WooCommerce products. Correct?

    Product Attributes with WooCommerce are basically taxonomy terms used to make more taxonomies and terms. “pa_color” gets registered as an attribute, registered as its own taxonomy, and then “red”, “blue”, etc are terms in that “pa_color” taxonomy. Probably best/easiest to just use their system for these needs instead of trying to roll your own.

    If attributes like that are definitely not wanted, then basically you’re working with term meta, very much like what’s available for post meta. However, CPTUI doesn’t have any integration with creating and managing term meta. With that said, Advanced Custom Fields would be a good option to help with that management.
