Adding Additional Taxonomy to category.php

  • I am using a plugin that creates categories within itself that do not appear in the listing of the category.php page. I’d like to add these categories to appear in the category.php with the traditionally generated ones.

    The wp_term_taxonomy for the category I want to add is “bd_categories”. It appears that I just need to add some of that information to the category.php file to make both the “category” and “bd_categories” taxonomies to display in the category admin screen.

    I know this will cause some issues when WP updates but I’m willing to deal with that.

    Any guidance is appreciated.

  • Hi there.
    Take a look at this Codex Article: register_taxonomy
    Good luck!

    Edit: the ‘category.php’ tag should be removed since it is not relevant to your question, and even if it was, editing core files is extremely discouraged, ??

    Ok. Thanks.

    But is there anyway to display custom taxonomies along with the default ‘category’ taxonomy in the category admin page? That’s basically what I’m trying to accomplish.

    The ‘public’ parameter of that function, which is true by default, will make the custom taxonomy appear in the admin panel. It will not appear under ‘categories’, since categories are a type of taxonomy, and you will be creating a different taxonomy, “bd_categories”.
    LMK if you need additional help.
