   Hello, I am having trouble to add the standard category taxonomy to my custom post type.

   I can add custom made taxonomies to my custom post types.

   I have the following cumstom post type:
   

   register_post_type('people',
   		array(	'label' => 'People',
   				'public' => true,'show_ui' => true,
   				'show_in_menu' => true,
   				'capability_type' => 'post',
   				'hierarchical' => false,
   				'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),
   				'query_var' => true,
   				'has_archive' => true,
   				'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail',),
   				'taxonomies' => array('category',),
   				'menu_position' => 5,
   				) );

   in taxonomies I added category, but it is not working, what do I do wrong?

   In my custom taxonomy I also have to add on which custom type it has effect on. Do I have to do this also with the standard category?

   Try it with this:
   

   add_action('init', 'register_mypost_type');
   function register_mypost_type() {
   register_post_type('people',
   		array(	'label' => 'People',
   				'public' => true,'show_ui' => true,
   				'show_in_menu' => true,
   				'capability_type' => 'post',
   				'hierarchical' => false,
   				'rewrite' => array('slug' => ''),
   				'query_var' => true,
   				'has_archive' => true,
   				'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail',),
   				'taxonomies' => array('category',),
   				'menu_position' => 5,
   				) );
   }

   @keesiemeijer (dutch? ;) )

   thanks that did the trick, can you also tell me why you have to add that in front? Because I was able to add new people

   Not sure why it is needed. Maybe because categories (and other functionality) are only available after WordPress is finished loading.
