Well, I found what was wrong: the plugin doesn’t register neither tags, nor categories. If anyone will run into the same problem, here’s code to solve it.
register_taxonomy(
'news_category', 'news', array(
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => false,
'hierarchical' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'news_category','with_front' => false)
)
);
register_taxonomy(
'news_post_tag', 'news', array(
'hierarchical' => false,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'news_post_tag','with_front' => false)
));
I added it in the news_cpt_init() function, after
register_post_type('new',$args);
