I'm using a custom post type for a portfolio and I want to add a custom taxonomy for the type of work it is.

I want to add a custom taxonomy for the type of work it is. I want to be able to assign multiple types of work to each portfolio item.

For example, if I had a portfolio item that was a website, I would assign it the "website" and "web design" taxonomies.

To do this, you will need to register a custom taxonomy for your portfolio post type. You can do this by adding the following code to your theme's functions.php file:

function portfolio_taxonomies() {

// Add new taxonomy, make it hierarchical (like categories)

$labels = array(

'name' => _x( 'Types of Work', 'taxonomy general name' ),

'singular_name' => _x( 'Type of Work', 'taxonomy singular name' ),

'search_items' => __( 'Search Types of Work' ),

'all_items' => __( 'All Types of Work' ),

'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Type of Work' ),

'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Type of Work:' ),

'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Type of Work' ),

'update_item' => __( 'Update Type of Work' ),

'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Type of Work' ),

'new_item_name' => __( 'New Type of Work Name' ),

'menu_name' => __( 'Types of Work' ),

);

register_taxonomy('types_of_work',array('portfolio'), array(

'hierarchical' => true,

'labels' => $labels,

'show_ui' => true,

'query_var' => true,

'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'type-of-work' ),

));

}

add_action( 'init', 'portfolio_taxonomies', 0 );

Once you have added this code, you will be able to assign multiple types of work to each portfolio item. You can do this by editing the portfolio item and
