create_initial_taxonomies() WordPress Function

This function creates the initial taxonomies for a site. It is called during the setup process when the user creates a new site. It creates the default 'Category' and 'Post Tag' taxonomies.

create_initial_taxonomies() #

Creates the initial taxonomies.


Description

This function fires twice: in wp-settings.php before plugins are loaded (for backward compatibility reasons), and again on the ‘init’ action. We must avoid registering rewrite rules before the ‘init’ action.
