This is unnecessarily confusing. Why declare a variable with the same name as your taxonomy? Why did you choose a taxonomy name that is used extensively in WordPress for something completely different?

Hi ShibaShake —

This is a great tutorial! Thank you so much! I don’t know if you’re still keeping up this post, but I am wondering how you might set a default term if no term is selected, or have the dropdown list not include the “None” option so that upon save, you would be saving with the first term in the list? I need to make sure each post is set with the default term in the taxonomy, rather than no term.

Thanks!
Kari

Found a solution for my problem.

I’m using this generator which does the trick. https://generatewp.com/taxonomy/

great tutorial thanks!

I want 2 custom taxonomies, but when I copy the code and change the names I get a server error.

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks!

This just made my day man. I was almost sure I was going to spend the next few hours figuring it out myself.

In reply to paulius. Did you also expand your save function to read inputs from both dropdowns? We can also print out the $_POST array and see if the proper values are being stored. If not, then there may be an issue with the HTML source, so I would check there.
