How to Add Custom Taxonomy To Woocommerce Plugin

1 Views

I am trying to add a Custom Taxonomy to Woocommerce by targeting the product post type in Woocommerce. I used following code and added it into functions.php I am not getting any error message but the taxonomy is not showing in the Woocommerce as well. Can you please let me know how I can do this or what I am doing wrong here? 

<?php
// Register Custom Taxonomy
function custom_taxonomy_Item()  {

$labels = array(
    'name'                       => 'Items',
    'singular_name'              => 'Item',
    'menu_name'                  => 'Item',
    'all_items'                  => 'All Items',
    'parent_item'                => 'Parent Item',
    'parent_item_colon'          => 'Parent Item:',
    'new_item_name'              => 'New Item Name',
    'add_new_item'               => 'Add New Item',
    'edit_item'                  => 'Edit Item',
    'update_item'                => 'Update Item',
    'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate Item with commas',
    'search_items'               => 'Search Items',
    'add_or_remove_items'        => 'Add or remove Items',
    'choose_from_most_used'      => 'Choose from the most used Items',
);
$args = array(
    'labels'                     => $labels,
    'hierarchical'               => true,
    'public'                     => true,
    'show_ui'                    => true,
    'show_admin_column'          => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus'          => true,
    'show_tagcloud'              => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'item', 'product', $args );
}
?>

Update

<?php
add_action( 'init', 'custom_taxonomy_Item' );

// Register Custom Taxonomy
function custom_taxonomy_Item()  {

$labels = array(
    'name'                       => 'Items',
    'singular_name'              => 'Item',
    'menu_name'                  => 'Item',
    'all_items'                  => 'All Items',
    'parent_item'                => 'Parent Item',
    'parent_item_colon'          => 'Parent Item:',
    'new_item_name'              => 'New Item Name',
    'add_new_item'               => 'Add New Item',
    'edit_item'                  => 'Edit Item',
    'update_item'                => 'Update Item',
    'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate Item with commas',
    'search_items'               => 'Search Items',
    'add_or_remove_items'        => 'Add or remove Items',
    'choose_from_most_used'      => 'Choose from the most used Items',
);
$args = array(
    'labels'                     => $labels,
    'hierarchical'               => true,
    'public'                     => true,
    'show_ui'                    => true,
    'show_admin_column'          => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus'          => true,
    'show_tagcloud'              => true,
);
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'item', 'product', $args );

}
?>

  1. You have to do:

    add_action( 'init', 'custom_taxonomy_Item' );

    Because:

    Use the init action to call this function. Calling it outside of an action can lead to troubles.

    see codex page register_taxonomy. Besides that :

    So better add:

    register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'item', 'product' );

    Additionally to reading the linked codex pages you could take a look at:

    All this together should get you started.

    Edit:

    Like I said in the comment, it’s working for me, this is the Code:

    add_action( 'init', 'custom_taxonomy_Item' );
function custom_taxonomy_Item()  {
$labels = array(
    'name'                       => 'Items',
    'singular_name'              => 'Item',
    'menu_name'                  => 'Item',
    'all_items'                  => 'All Items',
    'parent_item'                => 'Parent Item',
    'parent_item_colon'          => 'Parent Item:',
    'new_item_name'              => 'New Item Name',
    'add_new_item'               => 'Add New Item',
    'edit_item'                  => 'Edit Item',
    'update_item'                => 'Update Item',
    'separate_items_with_commas' => 'Separate Item with commas',
    'search_items'               => 'Search Items',
    'add_or_remove_items'        => 'Add or remove Items',
    'choose_from_most_used'      => 'Choose from the most used Items',
);
$args = array(
    'labels'                     => $labels,
    'hierarchical'               => true,
    'public'                     => true,
    'show_ui'                    => true,
    'show_admin_column'          => true,
    'show_in_nav_menus'          => true,
    'show_tagcloud'              => true,
);
register_taxonomy( 'item', 'product', $args );
register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'item', 'product' );
}
