   I'm trying to set up a site with a custom post type called 'Village Life', with a matching taxonomy called 'village'. Here's the code I used to register my post type -
   

   function create_post_type() {
   	register_post_type('Village',
   		array(
   			'labels' => array(
   					'name'=> __('Villages'),
   					'singular_name'=> __('Village')
   					),
   
   			'public' => true,
   			'has_archive' => true,
   			'rewrite' => array(
   				'slug' => 'village-life'
   
   			)
   
   		)
   	);
   
   }

   It works fine, and it shows up in the dashboard. When a user creates a 'Village Life' post, I'd like to add the title of the post (as a term) to the taxonomy 'village', so there will be a controlled list of 'villages' (There should be no other way for a user to add a village to the taxonomy, without creating a "Village Life' post. Here's the function for that -
   

   function create_post_type() {
   	register_post_type('Village',
   		array(
   			'labels' => array(
   					'name'=> __('Villages'),
   					'singular_name'=> __('Village')
   					),
   
   			'public' => true,
   			'has_archive' => true,
   			'rewrite' => array(
   				'slug' => 'village-life'
   
   			)
   
   		)
   	);
   
   }

   And here are the hooks I'm using -
   

   add_action('init','create_post_type');
   add_action('edit_post', 'create_village_callback');
   add_action('save_post ', 'create_village_callback');
   add_action('publish_post ', 'create_village_callback');
   add_action('edit_page_form ', 'create_village_callback');

   None of them seem to work. I've gotten the echo statement to show up on autodraft saving, but it doesn't run (or seem to run) when I click publish. Also, the titles are not showing up in my taxonomy. Anyone able to see what I'm doing wrong? I appreciate the help in advance!

   This is exactly what I'm trying to do and save_post is working fine when editing but isn't called on adding a new one of post-type. I've posted a cry for help on this forum. I'm usung version 3.1.3

   This is my code in save_post which works beautifully when editing a custom post (check at start of save_post function if this is right post-type and not a revision or autosave)

   $tslug = $post->post_name;
   	$tname = $post->post_title;
   
   	$tax = 'mytaxonomy'; // in your case village
   	$termno = term_exists( $tslug, $tax );
   // array is returned if taxonomy is already in
   // if term doesn't exist, add term as subsidiary of parent. Use 0 for parent if no parent.
   		if (!isset($termno)) {
   			wp_insert_term(
   			$tname, // the term
   			$tax, // the taxonomy
   			// description = text bit about term
   			array(
   				'description'=> $tname,
   				'slug' => $tslug,
   				'parent'=> 0
   				)
   			);
   	}

   I managed to get it to work by adding a filter instead of an action -
   

   add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','create_taxonomy_callback');

   and here is my callback function -
   

   if($data['post_type'] == 'revision' || $data['post_status'] == 'auto-draft') {
   			//Ignore revisions
   			return $data;
   		}
   
   		if($data['post_type'] == 'villagelife' && !term_exists( $data['post_title'], 'villagelife' )){
   			wp_insert_term(
   			$data['post_title'], // the term
   				  'village' // the taxonomy
   			);
   		}

   Hope that helps!
