oik-types should be able to turn off options such as show_in_nav_menus

[bobbingwide]

In Gutenberg the Navigation link block ( core/navigation ) has a number of custom variations that are dynamically generated for each of the post types that are _builtin and/or support show_in_nav_menus.

A lot of my CPTs are registered with show_in_nav_menus since that is the default for CPTs which are public.

oik-types admin doesn't have the capability of turning off the show_in_nav_menus setting.

Requirement

• Reduce the number of variations of the core/navigation link that are displayed in wp-a2z.org

Proposed solution

One or more of the following:

0. Do nothing
1. Update the plugins that register the CPTs to set show_in_nav_menus to false.
2. Update bw_register_post_type() to set the show_in_nav_menus value to false if it's not set.
3. Change oik-types to support turning off of these boolean fields.

Option 1. may also require the oik-types CPT override to be changed.

Note: In wp-a2z.org and/or oik-plugins there are many variations, for both the CPTs and their taxonomies.

• The first 4 are for WordPress core.
• The next 22 are CPTs
• The remaining 12 are custom taxonomies

Update bw_register_post_type() to set the show_in_nav_menus value to false if it's not set.

This requires a change to oik. It's actually the easiest change for CPTs. Does it work for custom taxonomies too?

Does it work for custom taxonomies too?

The same logic is needed in bw_register_custom_tags() and bw_register_custom_category()
