Additional taxonomy with Download

Hello @ankitchauhan22 ,

Could you please detail what you want to do with an extra taxonomy? Currently there is the “Categories” taxonomy that is the default one for Downloads. If you really want to add another taxonomy to the download post type please use WordPress’ register_taxonomy function or use one of the plugins available in WordPress’ Plugin Directory that can add taxonomies.

Kind Regards!

I tried plugin Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator – WCK which has inbuilt Taxonomy Creator to easily create and edit custom taxonomies for WordPress.

In the programming it uses register_taxonomy() function. But “dlm_download” post type is not available to attach taxonomy while other custom post type are available. Any help?

You’ll have to ask the developers of Custom Post Types and Custom Fields creator – WCK how to add a taxonomy to a post type that is not public ( we can’t make the post type public as this will intervene with our plugin’s functionality ), or you can use https://generatewp.com/taxonomy/ and set the “Link To Post Type(s)” to dlm_download and add the updated code to your child theme’s functions.php file.

Kind Regards!
