taxonomy problems

Are you saying that the UI for custom taxonomies isn’t showing up or that the terms aren’t showing up in edit-tags.php?

What I’m saying is the links on the front end do not work when I create the taxonomies programmically, unless I go back and edit an item, and the taxonomy list does not list the entire list in the admin unless I edit an item. It does show up in the drop down list: Here’s a screen grab of that: https://i30.tinypic.com/s49nav.jpg

I need some kind of fix for this for this project that I’ve been working on for ages.

here’s a 50 second demo video
