   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?

   Also

   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
