Add Taxonomies to Screen Options and Post List

September 05, 2018

Everywhere I’ve checked for this information suggested installing additional plugins to enable support for this feature, or said that it was a lengthy and complicated process … but that is not true.

Simply set show_admin_column to true on your taxonomy in functions.php:

function main_taxonomy() {
 register_taxonomy(
 'my_tax',
 array('as_many', 'taxonomies', 'as_you_need'),
 array(
 'label' => __( 'Tax Types' ),
 'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'my_tax' ),
 'hierarchical' => true,
 'query_var' => true,
 'show_ui' => true,
 'show_in_menu' => true,
 'show_admin_column' => true, // where the magic happens
 )
 );
     }
add_action ( 'init', 'main_taxonomy' );
