Make sure your taxonomy has terms. * Thread Starter [raidje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raidje/) * (@raidje) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17015297) * i mean the select field is clearly empty (nothing is populated in it ) so you can’t choose a post category. But i have several categories in my posts categories…. * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17015498) * > But i have several categories in my posts categories…. * you mean you have several terms? * In that case there is either a bug on your server side or on the front-end. Can you enable `WP_DEBUG` and check for any errors on the backend? Check also your js console on the page to see if there are any errors. * Plugin Author [Aurovrata Venet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aurovrata/) * (@aurovrata) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17015542) * I had a look at your form on the page you linked in the initial post. The Post My CF7 Form js file is not being loaded on the front-end, which likely means that you have not made your mapping live as yet. The mapping editor allows you to save a map of your form fields to your posts fields in draft mode, however, the front-end will not be active until you make the mapping live. * > [Post My CF7 Form ](https://imgur.com/a/3dvSq6b) * Thread Starter [raidje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raidje/) * (@raidje) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17015602) * ok thank you i will check this 😉 * Thread Starter [raidje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raidje/) * (@raidje) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17015665) * no error, and the maping settings seem to be ok and in live mode…(cf screenshot link) * [https://www.cptshautscantons.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/capture-decran-2023-08-31-a-13.50.54.png](https://www.cptshautscantons.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/capture-decran-2023-08-31-a-13.50.54.png) * Thread Starter [raidje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raidje/) * (@raidje) * [2 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maping-taxonomy/#post-17018206) * Hello, * what is the real name of the js file wich should be loaded ….?
