Post type “News” should have categories “World” and “Local“.
Post type “Products” should have categories: “Software” and “hardware”

  1. You can create custom post type by following example code:

    function ts_post_type_test() {
    register_post_type( 'Test',
                array( 
                'label' => __('Test'), 
                'public' => true, 
                'show_ui' => true,
                'show_in_nav_menus' => false,
                'menu_position' => 5,
                'capability_type' => 'post',
                'texonomies' => array('category'),
                'supports' => array( 'title','editor','thumbnail'),
                ) 
    );
}
