Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Require Post Category
Nope, just install and activate, that's it!
Use the rpc_post_types filter hook in your theme's functions.php or a must-use plugin. Usage examples: function custom_rpc_post_types( $post_types ) { // Add a key to the $post_types array for each post type and list the slugs of the taxonomies you wish to require // Simplest usage $post_types['book'] = array( 'genre' ); // Multiple taxonomies $post_types['recipe'] = array( 'cookbook_category', 'geographic_origin', 'flavor_tags' ); // Set your own alert message for each taxonomy, or let the plugin generate the alert message $post_types['inventory'] = array( // Let the plugin generate a relevant alert message 'manufacturer', // Or specify a custom alert message 'inventory_category' => array( 'message' => "Please choose a category for this fine inventory item." ) ); // Always return $post_types after your modifications return $post_types; } add_filter( 'rpc_post_types', 'custom_rpc_post_types' ); The default $post_types contains the following: $post_types['post'] = array( 'category' => array( 'message' => 'Please select a category before publishing this post.' ) ); This maintains the plugin's original functionality. However, you can remove this functionality with unset($post_types['post']); or by redefining $post_types in your hook function.
One reason may be that your custom taxonomy does not have the show_in_rest argument enabled. Without it enabled the Gutenberg editor cannot access it.
