So I followed the JointsWP custom post type templates exactly. But in the wordpress admin, in the menu my Categories and Tags are not quite right. I need to remove the Categories and Tags menu items that belong to Posts.
Here's the current state of my wordpress admin menu for the CPT....
Listings (my CPT, exactly as I want)
- All Listings (working)
- Add New (working)
- Categories (I need this gone! this is actually connected to "Posts" categories for regular blog posts)
- Tags (I need this gone! this is actually connected to "Posts" tags for regular blog posts)
- Listings Categories (working)
- Listings Tags (working)
I have already tried the hack fix in my functions.php:
// Removing some menu items
function remove_menus() {
remove_menu_page( 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category&post_type=listings' );
remove_menu_page( 'edit-tags.php?taxonomy=post_tag&post_type=listings' );
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'remove_menus' );
Here's a copy of my functions for the CPT, it's basically just a copy of what came with JointsWP, that I edited for my own purposes
