I'm building my first plugin. This plugin will activate a theme, set up a default front page, register tax. / cpt, and create some content. (cpt = custom post types)
I made it work all this in functions.php file, using: if (isset($_GET['activated']) && is_admin()) by just activating the theme. But I need this to be a plugin, so the plugin will activate the theme and do the rest.
I achieved to do almost everything work, but I having some prroblems in the creating content process. The cpt that are automatically generated has to be assigned to one term by wp_set_object_terms( but this isn't working. I have seen that the term is successfully created but maybe the taxonomy is not available when wp_set_object_terms( is executed, and so can't be assigned to the posts. I need your help..., I don't know how to solve this and I don't find alternative ways to do it.
This is the script:

This the code included as file for generating custom taxonomies and cpt (it works without problems):
