problem-with-child-values-custom-taxonomy.jpg

I am trying to: Create a custom Taxonomy (hierarchical)

I visited this URL: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-custom-taxonomies/

I expected to see: The child values of the taxonomy inside (indent) above its parent value.

Instead, I got: In the admin panel, when creating the values (parent) and child values for the custom taxonomy, there's no problem, and everything behave as expected.

But when editing a Custom Post Type and assigning the values for this custom taxonomy, some (not all) of the child values appear "outside" (not indent) above the corresponding parent value. Specifically, the "incorrect indent" child values are: "Agricultura", "Comercio", "NTIC", "Pesca" and "Servicios") and their parent value is "Sector empresarial". Only when I checked the values they fits correctly (indented) above the corresponding parent value (as you can see in the screenshot with the child values "Industria" and "Turismo")

That's a WordPress BUG.

This also happens with the native Category taxonomy and it is indeed a problem in the WordPress core GUI itself, not something we do ourselves. We can not do anything to change this

Can I help you further?
