Is there a way to create admin-only taxonomies in wordpress?

I have some things I'd like to tag with private, admin-only terms (for various reasons.) Is there a way to do this?

EDIT: Use case: I don't want the taxonomy or their terms getting their own url. i.e site.com/taxonomy/term

I also don't want the terms searchable on the frontend

  • What purpose would this serve? Filtering out specific terms for admins or non-admins doesn't sound performant or easy, but only registering a custom taxonomy if the user has admin privileges is trivial

  • I'd like to mostly keep them from getting their own url structure.

I believe when registering the taxonomy: setting public to false and show_in_menu, show_in_nav_menus, show_ui all to true would solve what I THINK is your request, without knowing any further what your use case is.

  • i read this as well. However, I'm looking to remove the taxonomy's from the url structure of wp. Just updated my question. Sorry for the lack of clarity.

  • You were right and my slug suppressing request was in the docs: codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/…
