Allow private taxonomies

Currently, the taxonomy field only supports public taxonomies, with the explicit exception of post_format.

I replaced /core/fields/taxonomy.php lines 284 through 295 with:

$taxonomies = get_taxonomies( '', 'objects' );
		
foreach($taxonomies as $taxonomy)
{
  $choices[ $taxonomy->name ] = $taxonomy->labels->name;
}
    
$taxonomies_to_unset = array( 'post_format', 'nav_menu', 'link_category' );
    
foreach($taxonomies_to_unset as $taxonomy)
{
  unset($choices[$taxonomy]);
}

Would it be possible to get this included in ACF core? It would allow the taxonomy field to show all custom taxonomies, while omitting the native ones that would be bothersome.

Hi @timothy_h

Thanks for the code. The above looks good to me. I’ll add it to the to-do, run some tests and add it into the next version.

Thanks
