I don’t recommend using category as cpt try rename it for example in product-type. For more information on category see on codex: Taxonomies
function my_custom_post_product_type() {
$labels = array(
'name' => _x( 'Product Types' ),
'singular_name' => _x( 'Product Type' ),
'add_new' => _x( 'Add New' ),
'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Product Type' ),
'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Product Type' ),
'new_item' => __( 'New Product Type' ),
'all_items' => __( 'All Product Types' ),
'view_item' => __( 'View Product Type' ),
'hierarchical' => true,
'search_items' => __( 'Search Product Types' ),
'not_found' => __( 'No Product Types found' ),
'not_found_in_trash' => __( 'No Product Types found in the Trash' ),
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'menu_name' => 'Product Types'
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'description' => 'Product Type Pages',
'hierarchical' => true,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'menu_position' => 5,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments','post-formats','custom-fields','page-attributes' ),
'has_archive' => true,
'can_export' => true,
'query_var' => 'product-type'
);
register_post_type( 'product-type', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_post_product_type' );
