 * Hello,
 * I’m having the following strange issues:
 * – I made 3 CPT (with CPT UI); CPT1, CPT2 and CPT3.
    – I registered CPT2 as a 
   CPT-onomy and attached it to CPT1 (as checklist), when creating a new post in
   CTP1 I’m able to check the posts of CTP2 – I registered CPT3 as a CPT-onomy and
   attached it to CPT2 (as checklist), when creating a new post in CTP2 I’m NOT 
   able to check the posts of CTP2, there are grayed out?
 * What I’m doing wrong?
 * Hope someone can help me.
 * Regards,
 * Walter

 * Additional information about this topic:
 * When I create a CPT with CTP UI and assign it to CPT1, in a new post the taxonomy
   is grayed out.
 * When I create a CPT with CPT-onomies and assign it to CPT1, in a new post the
   taxonomy is selectable.
 * Where to troubleshoot this problem? I need CPT with CPT UI to be able to select
   articles inside RokSprocket. This because there is no provider for CPT-onomies.

 * Finally find my problem:
 * I was not every clear with the names above, but I’ll explain were the problem
   exists.
 * When using GPT-onomies with Custom Post Type UI the ‘Post Type Name’ can not 
   contain a dash ‘-‘ in the name. This needs to be replaced by an underscore. To
   get the ‘-‘ shown up in the url just use the ‘Custom Rewrite Slug’ for that post
   type.

 * Walter
