    Hej!

    I’ve just created custom post type — projects — for my portfolio, and now I want to create separate categories for it. When I say separate I mean separate from posts. Post can be news, publications, winner announcement etc, but project can not. Project are private, commercial, conceptual etc. Projects are also can not be news or publications.

    So, I go to CPT UI -> Create new taxonomy and create Project Type taxonomy, and attach it to Project custom post type. Now I open new item of the Project custom post type and can create and add tags.

    But not categories!

    I googled for the solution, and it is written that I can edit custom post type taxonomy section and add WP Core Taxonomy. When I do so, Categories appears when I edit an item of Project custom post type — but there’s categories for Posts!

    So, how can I add separate categories for Projects using CPT UI Plugin?

    Thanks!

    If you’re referring to the “Project Type” taxonomy having the checkbox version, instead of just a text field to type in to and select terms from, make sure you set it to hierarchical. That’ll allow parent/child relationships, as well as having them all listed and you can choose by checkbox.
