Using WordPress 3.7.1 and PHP 5.4.12 I am trying to create a Custom Post Type called “News” and an associated Taxonomy Called “Subject”. I generate the code from Generate WP site as below: After running the code I figure out that the Taxonomy is not showing in the Menu!
after struggling with code Little bit I updated the code Hook action by removing the “0” parameter as:

Surprisingly , this time it worked! and the Subject Taxonomy appears in the Menu
BUT I can not add any Terms to the taxonomy as I am encountering with this red box error
Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong here?
