    Hi,

    I am trying to create a custom taxonomy for a CPT, and am running into a 20-character limit.

    https://share.zight.com/L1uEoRQR

    I have a significant amount of Custom Taxonomies, and for organizational purposes when I'm developing and pulling down these slugs from a drop-down list in other plugins, or when ensuring they are unique to the CPT that they're assigned to, they need to be clear.

    My questions are:

    - Is there a performance issue or some other problem that occurs when a slug is > 20-characters?
    - If not, how can we create slugs that are longer than that?

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    It is the limitation of WordPress for the slug. You can read more in the WordPress documentation
    https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/register_taxonomy/

    max characters for the taxonomy slug is 32, I will inform the development team to update the message to show the correct number. If you create more than 32 chars, the taxonomy might not appear in the admin menu.
