Find out in this tutorial how to support the REST API of a WordPress taxonomy using code.
The nice thing about creating your own taxonomy, for example for a Custom Post Type, is that you have full control over it.
One of these advantages is that, if you want it to support the WordPress REST API, you just have to add the argument 'show_in_rest' => true, in its array ($argsCategory); as I show you in the tutorial to create a Custom Post Type using code.
On the other hand, if you are working with a taxonomy created by a third party plugin you can’t modify it so easily.
What can you do then?
No problem. That’s what WordPress hooks are for. 😉
