[Resolved] Increase Custom Taxonomy Name And Slug Size

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

Problem:
I am creating a custom taxonomy in WordPress, but I am unable to input more than 30 characters in the Taxonomy Name and Slug box. I am looking for a way to increase this character limit.

Solution:
Unfortunately, the limitation of 30 characters for Taxonomy Name and Slug is a restriction in WordPress due to the database character limit. It is not possible to increase this limit within the default WordPress installation.

Hi there,

It seems that there is a limitation in default WordPress installation when it comes to the Taxonomy name. It is due to the character limit on the database.

You can learn more about that here:

Thanks,.
