WP Headless Plugin Framework

Custom Taxonomies

WP Headless allows you to easily add custom taxonomies via the taxonomies.php configuration file.

Custom taxonomy config entries will accept the same parameters as the WordPress function register_taxonomy(). Please note not all possible parameters are in the example below.

    [
        'id'          => 'movie_genre',
        'label'       => __('Movie Genre', $text_domain),
        'description' => __('Movie Genre Description', $text_domain),
        'labels'      => [
            'name'               => _x('Movie Genres', 'post type general name', $text_domain),
            'singular_name'      => _x('Movie Genre', 'post type singular name', $text_domain),
            'menu_name'          => _x('Movie Genres', 'admin menu', $text_domain),
            'name_admin_bar'     => _x('Movie Genre', 'add new on admin bar', $text_domain),
            'add_new'            => _x('Add New', 'movie genre', $text_domain),
            'add_new_item'       => __('Add New Movie Genre', $text_domain),
            'new_item'           => __('New Movie Genre', $text_domain),
            'edit_item'          => __('Edit Movie Genre', $text_domain),
            'view_item'          => __('View Movie Genre', $text_domain),
            'all_items'          => __('All Movie Genres', $text_domain),
            'search_items'       => __('Search Movie Genres', $text_domain),
            'parent_item_colon'  => __('Parent Movie Genres:', $text_domain),
            'not_found'          => __('No movie genres found.', $text_domain),
            'not_found_in_trash' => __('No movie genres found in Trash.', $text_domain)
        ],
        'public'              => true,
        'supports'            => ['movie'],
        'hierarchical'        => true,
        'show_in_menu'        => true,
        'show_in_rest'        => true,
        'show_in_graphql'     => true, // If using WPGraphQL Plugin
        'graphql_single_name' => 'MovieGenre', // If using WPGraphQL Plugin
        'graphql_plural_name' => 'MovieGenres', // If using WPGraphQL Plugin
    ],

Note that if you are using WP Headless and WPGraphQL for GraphQL support, you must include the final three parameters in your configuration.
