A small win, I finally got the taxonomy to show up using ‘taxonomies’ => array( ‘item_category’, ) inside the register_post_type() function…

HOWEVER, it completely ignores all the $labels I set and only shows as “Post Tags” …?!

HELP!

I found something very interesting under register_post_type (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type), the argument ‘taxonomies’.

taxonomies: (array) (optional)
An array of registered taxonomies like category or post_tag that will be used with this post type. Taxonomies still need to be registered with register_taxonomy().

So I used register_taxonomy() with no object_type set (Default: None)
(http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_taxonomy)

Then I used the register_post_type specifying the taxonomies per the above directions… and they don’t show up…

I actually figured this out shortly after posting…

Go to: wp-admin/includes/post.php

Scroll down to line number 513

You are looking for a block like this:

if ( 'pending' === $q['post_status'] ) {
     $order = 'ASC';
     $orderby = 'modified';
} elseif ( 'draft' === $q['post_status'] ) {
     $order = 'DESC';
     $orderby = 'modified';
} else {
     $order = 'DESC';
     $orderby = 'date';
}

In the final else {} Change:

$order = 'ASC';

to:

$order = 'DESC';

That’s it! When you are done the block should look like this:

if ( 'pending' === $q['post_status'] ) {
     $order = 'ASC';
     $orderby = 'modified';
} elseif ( 'draft' === $q['post_status'] ) {
     $order = 'DESC';
     $orderby = 'modified';
} else {
     $order = 'DESC'; /* used to be ASC */
     $orderby = 'date';
}
