Categories & Tags in Document Panel

    In the most part, 5.0 looks to be working ok on our site. The only problem I have encountered so far is that Categories & Tags do not exist in the Document Panel. I see Permalink, Excerpt, Featured Image etc but Categories and/or Tags don’t exist.

    I have click on the ‘three dots’ in the top right corner and selected Options but Categories/Tags do not exist as an option for me to add them.

    These are both quite important to our business.

    Any ideas on what I need to activate to get these back into play?

    Thanks,
    Gary.

    It is all in the sidebar http://prntscr.com/ltqfa6, if you do not see it there may be a plugin/theme conflict.

    Try disabling all plugins and switching to default Twenty* theme

    Thanks @jaycbrf, I deactivated EVERY plugin and switched to the latest Twenty theme. Nothing changed. Still no Categories or Tags in the Document Panel.

    For pages or posts?

    Both @jaycbrf. Although we rarely create new Pages so not a big deal. Posts we do about 10 a day, so it’s frustrating to have to save the post and come back into All Posts to Quick Edit the post to add Categories/Tags.

    I suspect a plugin conflict or theme error. Disable all plugins and see if it helps, do the same for the theme.

    hey @jaycbrf, that’s what I already tried. Deactivated ALL plugins and used the new Twenty theme too. No such luck in fixing this issue.

    Having the same issue. I created custom taxonomies in functions.php for Pages. They show in the admin left sidebar/ But when editing page, they are not seen on right sidebar document panel.

    Edit: Found the solution…

    You have to add ‘show_in_rest’ => true,’ to the $args array

    @overspeed99, can you say a bit more about that? I’m dealing with this same issue.

    Which functions.php—for a theme or the one in wp-includes? Which $args array in which function in there?

    Thanks!

    wlonk, see: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy

    Using this guide, I created my own taxonomies for Pages. But when I added this code to functions.php in theme, the categories would not show up when editing pages. The command I noted above needs to be added to the example. When added, categories are selectable when editing.
