I am trying to create a custom post type called "Incentives". Within this custom post type, I would like to create a category titled "Lighting Incentives". I have created a function to register the custom post type and create the taxonomy/category. However, for some reason I am unable to register the taxonomy/category. The taxonomy/category does not appear in the WP dashboard. Also, the hierarchy of "Incentives" vs "Lighting Incentives" seems a bit mixed up. Here is my code
add_action('init', 'incentive_register');
function incentive_register() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x('Lighting Incentives', 'post type general name'),
'singular_name' => _x('Lighting Incentive', 'post type singular name'),
'add_new' => _x('Add New', 'Lighting Incentive'),
'add_new_item' => __('Add New Lighting Incentive'),
'edit_item' => __('Edit Lighting Incentive'),
'new_item' => __('New Lighting Incentive'),
'view_item' => __('View Incentive'),
'search_items' => __('Search Incentives'),
'not_found' => __('Nothing found'),
'not_found_in_trash' => __('Nothing found in Trash'),
'parent_item_colon' => ''
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'menu_icon' => get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/article16.png',
'rewrite' => true,
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => 'lighting-incentives',
'menu_position' => null,
'parent_item' => 'Incentives',
'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail','excerpt','custom-fields','post-formats')
);
register_post_type( 'Incentive' , $args );
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category','Incentive');
flush_rewrite_rules();
}
You should use lowercase for the name of your custom post type. Change this
register_post_type( 'Incentive' , $args );
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category','Incentive');
to this
register_post_type( 'incentive' , $args );
register_taxonomy_for_object_type('category','incentive');
EDIT
You should flush your permalinks only once
