Missing taxonomies on custom posts

    I have a website for a client that uses custom taxonomies to allow the user to sort lodging, dining, events, etc. to make it easier to find what they’re looking for. Recently, I’ve noticed that the taxonomy terms are only showing when viewing the admin list for the post type, but do not show in the taxonomies meta box when viewing a single post. When running the loop to pull all of the information from each post, the terms are not being pulled from the database. I’ve tried all of the standard plugin deactivation/reactivation, running updates, rolling back to previous versions, etc. with no success. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    If a taxonomy is not displayed in the post editor, there’s likely an issue with how the related post type was registered. What theme or plugin is responsible for registering the post type?

    In an output loop, a theme wouldn’t normally display custom taxonomy terms unless it’s for a taxonomy created by the theme itself. If not from the theme, the loop code would have needed to be customized or hooked into by a plugin. One way or another, there’s an issue with how this code is implemented.

    Check your PHP error log for possible clues about what may have gone wrong. Even the lack of any errors is a meaningful clue. In any case, without access to relevant source code, there’s not much we can offer in the way of help. I recommend seeking assistance through the dedicated support channel of what ever (theme or plugin author) is responsible for the relevant code.
