Categories box not showing on post edit pages

by

For all who have the problem just with WordPress Blocks/Gutenberg, here is the solution I was looking for a long time.

When you create a new taxonomy, make sure you’ve set show_in_rest to true. Otherwise it will not appear in Block editor.

Whether to include the taxonomy in the REST API. Set this to true for the taxonomy to be available in the block editor.

register_taxonomy(
  'new-category',
  'post',
  [
    'public' => false,
    'rewrite' => false,
    'show_ui' => true,
    'show_in_rest' => true,
    'hierarchical' => true,
  ]
);
