Hi,

I am creating a new post type called Producer that needs to have the product_cat and product_tag taxonomies associeted with it. I selected the checkbox for both of them when creating the post type, but I doesn't seem to register them.

I try to register other WP taxonomies like category and it works well, this problem seems to be related to Woocommerce taxonomies. As I work around a created a custom taxonomy to replace product_cat, but now I am facing a lot of changes to modify the default woocommerce behavior.

Thanks in advance for your support...

Hi Orlando,

You can follow this topic to register taxonomy for a post type https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33037985/how-to-add-woocommerce-product-categories-in-custom-post-type

or use the field taxonomy to set the product category for the post type
https://docs.metabox.io/fields/taxonomy/

But please notice that WooCommerce has its own functions to query and manage the taxonomy product_cat. So even if you use a way to do the trick, it might not work with the WooCommerce system.
