   Ading a new Custom Post type I need to have the existing category and post_tag taxonomies. My code is here
   

   register_post_type('im_directory', array(
   	'label' => __('Directory'),
   	'singular_label' => __('Directory'),
   	'public' => true,
   	'show_ui' => true, // UI in admin panel
   	'_builtin' => false, // It's a custom post type, not built in!
   	'_edit_link' => 'post.php?post=%d',
   	'capability_type' => 'post',
   	'hierarchical' => true,
   	'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail','excerpt'),
   	'rewrite' => array("slug" => "directory"),
   	'taxonomies' => array('post_tag','category'),
   	'menu_position' => 5
   ));

   The problem is that I am not seeing the Category and Tag when I go to add a new post. Any ideas?

   Where are you placing this code?

   The post type needs to be registered on init..
   

   add_action( 'init', 'register_my_post_type' );
   function register_my_post_type() {
   	register_post_type( 'im_directory', array(
   		'label' => __('Directory'),
   		'singular_label' => __('Directory'),
   		'capability_type' => 'post',
   		'hierarchical' => true,
   		'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt' ),
   		'rewrite' => array( "slug" => "directory" ),
   		'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag', 'category' ),
   		'menu_position' => 5
   	) );
   }

   NOTE: I removed some args, there's no need to include them when you're using the default value for a given arg.

   If that's still problematic, try changing the action priority..

   Higher value - Lower priority
   

   add_action( 'init', 'register_my_post_type', 1000 );

   Lower value - Higher priority
   

   add_action( 'init', 'register_my_post_type', 0 );

   Hope that helps.. :)
