Published content types do not show up

In this scenario, you have a content type hub with published content types, but after you run the content type subscriber timer job you are not seeing the content types on the consuming site collection. I am assuming that you have the service application published correctly, permissions are configured, your Managed Metadata Service proxy on the consuming farm is configured to consume from the content type hub (see my post here: http://thatsharepointguy.blogspot.com/2011/11/skipped-content-type-syndication-on.html), and your content type hub is not based on the blank site template. Updating the diagnostics logging by setting Taxonomy (under the SharePoint Server heading) to verbose. Run the content type subscriber timer job again and look for this error message: "Skip site http://siteurl because it does not have taxonomy feature enabled" This is referencing the TaxonomyFieldAdded feature, a little-known hidden feature that is not enabled by default. Enable this feature (stsadm -o activatefeature -name taxonomyfieldadded -url http://siteurl), run the content type subscriber timer job again, and you should be all set. You may need to run this commend for every site collection in your consuming web application.
