# Missing custom categories select widget

 * We are using 2.0.1 of the Toolset Types plugin on WP 4.5.2. We have a custom 
   post type “News” that uses a set of custom categories. For some reason, now we
   no longer have the ability to assign the custom categories to entries in that
   post type. On the post edit page, there is no longer a widget to assign the category
   at all. What can we do to bring back this functionality?
 * Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

 * Have you checked Toolset > Post Types > your_post_type > Taxonomies to be used
   with your_post_type?
 * Also, have you checked Toolset > Taxonomies > your_custom_taxonomy > Post types
   to be used with your_taxonomy?
 * As well, same screen, check if the settings:
    – show_ui – show_in_nav_menus –
   show_tagcloud are all checked
 * At last, same screen, top right, check the status of the taxonomy, it should 
   be “Published”
