Hi,

If I create a new post and add taxonomy terms, the browser console shows a lot of 400 errors on the POST request to /wp-json/wp/v2/taxonomyname?_locale=user.

The terms do get added to the post successfully.

This happens on WordPress 6.0 and 6.1. I have disabled all plugins except Meta Box, and I'm on the 2023 theme.

Sometimes, when I have added terms to the meta box, and then remove a lot of them, it will also cause these 400 errors. But even more in this case. It seems to be stuck in a loop for a minute or two. The website gets unresponsive in that case.

I have a test site to log into if needed.

Kind regards,
Arno

Hello Arno,

Please generate the PHP code from the builder and add the code to the file functions.php in the theme/child theme folder to create the custom taxonomy and deactivate all plugins (including Meta Box plugins) and recheck this issue. Let me know if the issue is resolved.

Hi Peter,

I first deleted all taxonomies and post types not needed for the test. Then I generated the PHP code for 1 remaining post type and 2 remaining taxonomies. That code did not seem correct: it still referred to trashed post types and taxonomies. Does the code generator not check for that?

I tried to correct the code, here what I have:

add_action( 'init', 'your_prefix_register_post_type' );
function your_prefix_register_post_type() {
	$labels = [
		'name'                     => esc_html__( 'Activities', 'your-textdomain' ),

This throws an error:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected token "public" in /public_html/testsite/wp-content/themes/kadence_child/functions.php on line 113

What's wrong with the code?

Thanks,
Arno

The argument public should be set to true or false. You can create a test taxonomy with the tool Online Generator and combine it with your code https://metabox.io/taxonomy-generator/

I tried but I keep getting critical errors.

It's taking too much time. I removed the code. I will e-mail you the login to the test site. Please have a look. Thanks!

Hi Peter,

I tested in another browser now: Firefox with the cache emptied, instead of Chrome before. But it's still a problem, so it\s not browser dependent.

I will e-mail you a link to my screen recording. Perhaps you can see what I do different than you.
