    I recently created a custom taxonomy called genres and have added related genres to the posts. After adding those genres it only shows “genres:” at the end of the post and doesn’t show the added taxonomies.

    I want to display the added genre tags for the posts e.g comedy, romance like in IMDB next to the picture not at the end of the post. How do I go about this?

    What template function are you using to output them, if any? Not sure what all you’ve done at the theme level to start outputting term information associated with the post.

    I don’t know if I am using any template function. I just changed the hierarchy to true and nothing more.

    You’re going to need to check on and review your active theme’s template files to see what’s going on and why nothing is showing. We don’t have any influence on those with the plugin, so it’s up to the theme to be modified to take new content types into account.

    The only thing I have added is the code to hide footer with this code
    .entry-footer {display:none;}

    While I deleted the code, it only showed ‘Genre:’ and everything else was empty even though I added genre types.
    With the code added nothing related to taxonomy is showing.

    I viewed my themes file and everything is almost at default. If it helps I am using buddyx theme.

    Not familiar with that theme at all to be honest.

    If it’s hardly modified, if at all, then chances are that it isn’t going to know your custom taxonomy exists.

    In what way did you get “Genre: ” output so far? Or is that possibly part of the BuddyX theme?

    So far I only saw genre output as a part of footer when I tried changing its settings.
    Is there a way to move to it from footer to body?

    Edit: I tried adding the genres to tag cloud but it’s not even showing anything after adding. I don’t think there is any genre output.

    Some aspect of your site and probably more specifically your theme isn’t actively aware that this genre taxonomy exists and thus it doesn’t know to query for it, which are details beyond what CPTUI handles. What we do and try to do as well as we can is get the content types registered for you. What is done with them afterwards isn’t controlled by us.

    Most downloadable themes, from my experience, work best with the default categories and tags, because those are known to be available taxonomies. However, it can’t guess or predict any others that may get registered for the site, which is where customization comes in by the specific site owners.

    I figured out the workaround. I just used elementor dynamic tags to automatically add the genres. Thanks for the response.
