<p>Custom taxonomies that were developed prior to the release of WordPress 5.0 (the Gutenberg release) may not be compatible with the WordPress block editor.</p>
<p>Custom taxonomies require that the “show_in_rest” property be set to “true” in order to work with the block editor. “show_in_rest” was added with WordPress 4.7 and the integration of the WordPress JSON REST API. Sites using custom taxonomies that were created prior to this likely do not have this property set. Additionally, the default value for “show_in_rest” is <em>“false”</em> (this is poorly documented), ergo older custom taxonomies will not appear in the WordPress block editor interface.</p>
<p>This plugin will take any custom taxonomy where the “show_in_rest” feature is set to “false” and change it to “true”. It will <em>not</em> add any additional REST properties, such as “rest_base” or “rest_controller_class”. If you need those properties set for any reason, you will need to update your custom taxonomy where it is being registered.</p>


Custom Taxonomies for Blocks

WordPress plugin to convert older custom taxonomies so they can be used in the WordPress blocks interface (a.k.a. Gutenberg).

Easy to Use

Compared to the competition, the design and extensibility of this plugin is significantly better.  Its performance is better and it doesn't suffer from code bloat.  Its learning curve is a bit steep, however that is what really sets it apart from the others.  The support team is pretty responsive with tickets and the documentation is pretty good! I'll be using the pro version of plugin going forward for custom setups.

Cheers~
