You’re using a plugin to define your taxonomies, right? Which one?
Yes, I’m using More Taxonomies, is that a problem?
Yes, it is, since More Taxonomies sets the ‘public’ attribute to false.
You’re better off using register_taxonomy() directly.
I have the same problem. Is there a way to modify this attribute somewhere (in the DB with PHPMyAdmin?)
I have only one custom taxonomy, but it contains many terms, and I really like the functionalities of More Taxonomies to manage them.
Are you sure that is the problem?
I just had a look at the code and saw that:
$default = array(
'hierarchical' => true,
'public' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
(...)
scribu: Is your plugin compatible with any other Taxonomies plugin?
By the way… I agree with mnaugendre, public is set to true in the More Taxonomies plugin.
similar problem here:
this plugin shows custom taxonomies created with the “Simple Taxonomies” plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-taxonomies/
but not those created with the “GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools” plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-taxonomies-tools/
although the first plugin offers no options when creating the taxonomies while the second one lets me specify all sorts of attributes and I chose public…

Yes, I’m sure:
1. Registered a taxonomy ‘test’
2. Enabled ‘Allow permalinks’, ‘Show UI’ and ‘Allow queries’ (notice there’s no ‘Public’ setting)
3. Added this code to my functions.php file:
function test_tax() {
var_dump( get_taxonomy('test')->public );
}
add_action('init', 'test_tax');
And got this result:
string(0) ""
which is equivalent to False.
@ovidiu: The “GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools” plugin sets public to ‘yes’ instead of True, but that’s good enough. The development version of QMT (1.3.1-alpha) accomodates this.

The term management functionalities come from WordPress, not More Taxonomies.

I’m not sure we’re speaking about the same thing: as soon as I deactivate the More Taxonomies plugin, my custom taxonomy doesn’t appear in the article edit screen any longer; there is no way I can assign terms to the article I’m editing, nor create new terms from this screen.
When I reactivate the plugin, everything re-appear; thus I guess that’s More Taxonomies that bring all this.

true, works fine.
BUT you gave the wrong link 🙂

It just registers the taxonomy, but then WordPress is the one that creates the boxes and the menus.
All that More Taxonomies does ultimately is call register_taxonomy() with the settings you choose.
Yes, it’s more convenient to have a settings page in the admin to register taxonomies, but the plugin has to work properly. 😛

Can somebody provide the right link, please 🙂

Thanks for the clarification, I understand your point, now.
However, I tried other plugins:
– GD Custom Posts … doesn’t do better, custom taxonomies don’t appear in the drill-down widget; may be your development version solves the problem?
– Simple Taxonomies is not an option as it doesn’t do hierarchical taxonomies, and has not been updated for more than a year
– Custom Taxonomies doesn’t work wit WP 3.0.1
… what’s left?
How to download the development version:
1. Go to the Extend page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/query-multiple-taxonomies/
2. Click on “Other Versions »”
3. Click on “Development Version”
