I just have one required field and it says region – basically i want to require the author to put in the region and some other things before they can post. * Plugin Author [ketanmujumdar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ketanmujumdar/) * (@ketanmujumdar) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393743) * Hello Kramer, * Which out of these three your are using as custom taxonomies? Category Tag Link Category * As the plugin wont work on Tag, coz the Tag field is always empty. But should work for Categories & mark as red. * Also in settings you need to add fields name as name:id. so is the “region” an id or a name ? * if you do not have a name, then you may specify id:id that would work before publishing … * Thats the reason why i needed a screenshot of both so i could study well and try to reproduce it. So if possible can you send me a link of a screenshot ? * Plugin Author [ketanmujumdar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ketanmujumdar/) * (@ketanmujumdar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393756) * I am resolving the ticket … please let me know if there are any more issues … * [hornets2002](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hornets2002/) * (@hornets2002) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393764) * Hey ketanmujumdar, * I am also not seeing the red show up on categories or featured image when they are not filled out. * [Kramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kramerkeller/) * (@kramerkeller) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393768) * Hey Ketanmujumdar, * Sorry for getting back so late. Okay so I have a few “Custom Taxonomies” that I created. I don’t know what you mean as far as Category, Tag, Link etc… but my custom taxonomies are “Region”, “Skillset” etc. They are not like tags, but more like categories – but again they are custom taxonomies. * I can send you a screen shot… (just private message I guess?) * But basically it just shows the “Fields marked in RED are mandatory” error at the top and then “Region” which looks just like Categories, but is a custom taxonomy… doesn’t have red around it. * [Kramer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kramerkeller/) * (@kramerkeller) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393769) * Also, * One more thing… I know how to get he ID of my terms, but not the ID of the actual custom taxonomy… everytime I look it up, i am seeing how people find the term ID – for terms within the taxonomy, but not the actual ID of the custom taxonomy itself. For instance… what would Category’s ID be and what would my Region’s ID be? * Plugin Author [ketanmujumdar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ketanmujumdar/) * (@ketanmujumdar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393771) * Hi, * Please email me the screenshot @ [ketanmujumdar@gmail.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/ketanmujumdar@gmail.com?output_format=md), so that i can help you in a better way. * Regards, Ketan Mujumdar * Plugin Author [ketanmujumdar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ketanmujumdar/) * (@ketanmujumdar) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-35-36/#post-3393772) * Hello hornets2002, * The categories works if none is selected.
