Creating a child taxonomy

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

I am having trouble defining Breed as a child taxonomy of Species in my custom post type "Pets". I've created two taxonomies, Species and Breeds, but can't set Breed as a child taxonomy of Species.

Solution:

Go to Toolset > Taxonomies and ensure that the taxonomy type is set as hierarchical. In the settings, check the box to set it as hierarchical. This will allow you to add subcategories.

Hello,

My custom pos type is :Pets
The main taxonomy is : Species (Cat, dog, bird, etc)
There should be a child taxonomy called Breed.
For instance for Dog there can be breed for example : labrador, dobberman, golden retriever, etc
Sor Cat there can be breed: Persian, Maine coon, Siamese, etc

So I have created two taxonomies, Species and Breeds But I didn't find a way to define Breed as a child taxonomy of Species.

Please advise?

Thanks,

Jacques

Hi Jacques,

Make sure that you set the taxonomy type to be as hierarchal in Toolset > Taxonomies.

In the settings you will have a checkbox there to set it as hierarchal. Then you will be able to add sub categories.

Thanks.
