I have a custom post type with a custom taxonomy but I can not figure out how to set it up so it doesn't show those tax's in the general categories area. I need to see them in Admin so "Hidden" isn't an option.
Can you please explain about your "custom taxonomy"? Since when you create a Custom Taxonomy using Types (Dashboard -> Types -> Types & Taxonomies -> Add Custom Taxonomy), it shouldn't be mixed with the standard Categories.
I think there's a confusion between "Categories" and "Custom Taxonomies". Let me try to explain these in the followings:
- Categories: These are the standard taxonomies by Word Press. Types allow you to attach these with your own CPTs. But when you attach/use the Categories, a standard Categories meta box is shown, along with "all" categories created in the Word Press. So it can create some confusion, that you just wanted to see your "own" categories.
- Custom Taxonomies: These are usually called terms (or taxonomies). Standard taxonomies offered by WP are Tags (flat taxonomies). Types offers you to create your own custom taxonomies with your CPTs (or standard post types). When you create a custom taxonomy these are appeared in a separate meta box on your post edit screen. All terms created in your custom taxonomy, are also limited to this particular custom taxonomy (and are not mixed with standard categories or terms). You can also configure your custom taxonomy to appear like Tags (flat) or like Categories (hierarchical).
