 * Ok, got it!
 * At first it looked like it was a JQuery issue but it appears to be a combination
   of JQuery and WordPress. The solution is quite simple: don’t use any capitals
   in your “Custom Taxonomy Name”.
 * I found the solution on [this](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/141000/custom-taxonomy-only-shows-0-in-autocomplete-for-terms-and-choose-from-the-most)
   page.
 * [@zenopopovici](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zenopopovici/): It might 
   be an idea to a: put a note next to the field stating not to use uppercase or,
   even better, b: convert the input to lowercase upon submission at the same time
   you remove the spaces.
 * Note: updating the Custom Taxonomy Name will remove the category from the post
   but it’s still linked (it just can’t find it).
    In the database, I updated the
   wp_term_taxonomy table (it still had all the ‘old’ names: `UPDATE 'wp_term_taxonomy'
   SET 'taxonomy'='newtaxonomyname' WHERE 'taxonomy' ='OldTaxonomyName'`. Then I
   regenerated the permalinks and had to rename the filenames in my child theme 
   to match the new taxonomy name. This brought everything back to the way it was,
   and now I can select the categories from the list.

 * Apparently [it has shown up before](https://github.com/Graffino/Custom-Post-Type-Maker/issues/13).
   If you want me to test anything or more info about the setup, let me know.

 * I have exactly the same problem. I only see a ‘0’ and cannot select anything.
   That’s an issue because my categories contain commas and as soon as I edit a 
   post, the categories get split. This would be preventable if I could select from
   the list of existing categories. Unless someone knows a hack to not split categories
   that contain commas.

 * Zeno,
 * I totally understand this. I’ve resolved the issue for now for myself. As repayment
   for your work I’ll see if I can look into this after my current project and see
   what I can come up with. Then I can also suggest changes to the ‘edit icon’ text…?
   I assumed it was a link to an icon editor but instead it’s just ‘change icon’.
 * No worries.
    Expect more of me in the near future 🙂
 * Cheers,
 * Leon
