    Hi, I’m following the Learn WordPress lesson on custom post types and taxonomies using Custom Post Type UI, but my custom taxonomies won’t show as options when adding submenu items in Appearance > Editor > Navigation > Edit

    What I’ve done:

    • Created CPT and taxonomy via CPT UI (followed video exactly)
    • Checked “Show in Nav Menus” during taxonomy setup
    • Flushed permalinks (Settings > Permalinks > Save)
    • Tried different browsers and incognito mode

    Environment:

    • WordPress: 6.9 and 6.9.1 (tried with both)
    • CPT UI: 1.18.3
    • Theme: Twenty Twenty Four
    • Active plugins: only CPT UI active
    • Custom taxonomy name: “height” , “climbing-rating”
    • Custom post type: “mountain”

    What am I missing? Thanks!

    Not sure I’d say you’re necessarily missing anything for settings, but more that the Navigation Block is mostly “page” focused but does allow for some other link types.

    I found that I was able to link to a specific post type post with the “custom link” block.

    So that may help with your run through of this learning course, and I wonder if they under document custom post type usage in menus at the current version of the course.
