Looking for some suggestions on naming categories for multiple CPT's. I am attempting my first build using Metabox for a Local Business Directory. I have three CPT's and they are Businesses, Restaurants and Places. I would like to have separate categories for each but it just feels like /restaurant-category/ or /business-category/ etc is too long. Since I am new to using Metabox there may be other options that I am not aware of such as maybe relationships or conditional logic that can be used to avoid these long category names.

I appreciate suggestions or examples. If this is in the wrong forum section please let me know. Thanks for your help.

Hello Charlie,

You can add whatever you want to create the taxonomy slug, but it should be unique and follow the guide of WordPress https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_taxonomy/
and not match the reserved terms https://codex.wordpress.org/Reserved_Terms

Also, please notice that, MB Custom Post Types helps you to create the post type with UI instead of using the code register_post_type(), register_taxonomy(). You can read the WordPress documentation for more information.
