   I am trying out example code from various tutorials for adding taxonomies to WordPress 3.0 (including some from the codex).

   For example:

   // Custom Taxonomy Code
   add_action( 'init', 'build_taxonomies', 0 );
   
   function build_taxonomies() {
   register_taxonomy( 'operating_system', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Operating System', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) );
   register_taxonomy( 'ram', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'RAM', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) );
   register_taxonomy( 'hard_drive', 'post', array( 'hierarchical' => true, 'label' => 'Hard Drive', 'query_var' => true, 'rewrite' => true ) );
   }

   This code does not work in the child but it does if in the parent theme's functions.php.

   Is this meant to be the case or have I made a mistake somewhere along the line?

   perryb, I cannot help much with custom taxonomies (I haven’t looked into them), but I dropped your code into the functions.php of a child theme of Twenty Ten, and it works OK. The taxonomies are registered.

   That's odd!

   I pasted it into a blank functions.php in a child theme folder with <?php ... ?> wrapped round it and it didn't even register.

   I wonder what I've missed?

   This is just too stupid - make sure you call name your file in your child theme "functions.php" not "function.php"!!

   Doh - thanks for dropping by demetris!
