Can we have categorized custom posts?

(@iamopensource)

Hi,

I created Custom Post :

//Add custom post
add_action( 'init', 'create_post_type' );
function create_post_type() {
	register_post_type( 'gb_cmspage',
		array(
			'labels' => array(
				'name' => __( 'CMSPages' ),
				'singular_name' => __( 'CMSPage' ),
				‘show_ui’ => true,
				‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
				‘hierarchical’ => false,
				‘rewrite’ => true,
				‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘custom-fields’)
			),
		'public' => true
		)
	);
}

This works fairly fine, but I do not see an option to choose a category the way we have for Post.

How can I have custom categorized post for my custom content type?

Regards

```
'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag', 'category'),
```
added in there will bring in normal tags and cats…. are you looking for custom taxonomies?

May wanna read up on CPTs a bit more, looking at your code, you seem to be trying to pass a bunch of stuff into the labels array that don’t belong there

Thanks Rev,
Unfortunately, adding
'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag', 'category'),
did not show Categories for me.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

if you just added it to the code above, yes.

As I stated, you are adding your supports, rewrite, etc parameters to your labels array, which doesn’t work.

Read the link I posted, or even look at my code here:
http://wordpress.pastebin.com/DfiEScZx

See how this stuff:
```
‘show_ui’ => true,
				‘capability_type’ => ‘post’,
				‘hierarchical’ => false,
				‘rewrite’ => true,
				‘supports’ => array(‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’, ‘custom-fields’)
```
is outside of the labels array, it should all be hanging out with your public => true line

Thanks Rev,
You exactly pointed out the problem. I got the Categories.

The only problem I’ve now is “the URL”.
While editing the post I see:
Permalink: http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page

I selected category called “Content”.

So it should be:
Permalink: http://localhost/mysite/content/my-cms-page

Clicking the View takes me to
http://localhost/mysite/gb_cmspage/my-cms-page that says
“Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.”

Thanks
