Populate Taxonomy Labels

Significantly simplifies registering custom taxonomies. To populate all taxonomy labels, simply provide the singular and plural label to the populate_taxonomy_labels( $singular, $plural ) function. If there are any situations where the default label structure needs to be overwritten, simply provide an array of the necessary overrides as the third parameter.

<?php

register_taxonomy( 'genre', array( 'book' ), array(
	'hierarchical'      => true,
	'labels'            => populate_taxonomy_labels( 'Genre', 'Genres' ),
	'show_ui'           => true,
	'show_admin_column' => true,
	'query_var'         => true,
	'rewrite'           => array( 'slug' => 'genre' ),
); );
