so glad to know about the missing "{".
This whole thing is bringing to light my confusion between CPTs (custom post types) and taxonomy. I've been considering them as inseparable. Am I correct?
This is my aim: I have a 2 main categories: Video and Magazine. Furthermore, Videos are either Fiction or Non-Fiction; and Magazines are either Comedy or Drama.
Should my code attempt the following: create a CPT for Movies w/ a taxonomy for Comedy and a tax. for Drama? And in addition, create a CPT for Videos, w/ a tax. for Fiction and a tax. for Non-Fiction?
Let's say the answer is "yes". How do I code that?
Thanks for your patience!!!!
Here is my stab at that code, but it breaks.
