I've created a CPT called 'Projects' in WP using pods. If I now go to the categories sub menu for this CPT I am presented with a long list of categories that were created for the specifically for the default WP Posts.

However, I need cetegories that are limited to the Projects CPT, and not shared with any other post type. I can't seem to find any way to do this. If for example I create a new category it just gets added to the existing list of categories and is again shared with the default WP Posts.

• categories

• You should create a custom taxonomy (use register_taxonomy()) and assign projects CPT to it (in second parameter of register_taxonomy() or add to register_post_type() arguments "taxonomies" => array('your_taxonomy_slug') ). – nmr Commented Jan 20, 2020 at 12:24

You need to create a NEW pod that is a Category type, then simply associate it with your CPT pod.
