Common Mistakes

Passing a string instead of an array

Using 'labels' as a string instead of an array

The third argument must be an array of arguments. 'labels' should be an array or string, and 'hierarchical' defines if it behaves like categories.

Common Mistakes

Setting hierarchical to false

Using label without quotes

Setting show_ui to false

Hierarchical should be true to behave like categories. The label is a string naming the taxonomy. 'show_ui' true shows the UI in admin.
