I have a custom post type called "News" which looks like this:
/**
* Register "News" custom post type
*/
function news_custom_post_type() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'News', 'Post Type General Name', 'school' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'News Item', 'Post Type Singular Name', 'school' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'News', 'school' ),

);
$args = array(
'label' => __( 'News Post', 'school' ),
'description' => __( 'A custom post type for news posts.', 'school' ),
'labels' => $labels,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'excerpt' ),

register_post_type( 'news', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'news_custom_post_type', 0 );
I've also set up taxonomies for this post type:
/**
* Register "News" Categories
*/
function news_categories() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Categories', 'Taxonomy General Name', 'school' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Category', 'Taxonomy Singular Name', 'school' ),
'menu_name' => __( 'Categories', 'school' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Items', 'school' ),
'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Category', 'school' ),

'search_items' => __( 'Search Categories', 'school' ),
'not_found' => __( 'Not Found', 'school' ),
'no_terms' => __( 'No items', 'school' ),
'items_list' => __( 'Categories list', 'school' ),
'items_list_navigation' => __( 'Categories list navigation', 'school' ),
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'hierarchical' => true,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_admin_column' => true,
'show_in_nav_menus' => true,
'show_tagcloud' => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'news', array( 'news' ), $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'news_categories', 0 );
I've added my categories via WP Admin and the created three posts with those categories assigned.
Via widgets, I've added the "Categories" widget. When you visit the News archive page, the widget says "No Categories".
Any ideas?
