WordPress custom taxonomy

In WordPress, a custom taxonomy is a system of classification for organizing WordPress Posts.

Description

WordPress provides two taxonomies: Categories and Tags.

You add custom taxonomies of your own: like Categories or Posts, but using terminology customized for a specific purpose.

Custom taxonomies create new web pages which users can browse for more detailed information.

For example, custom taxonomies related to a Custom Post Type named "Products" might include:

• Color (black, white red)
• Size (small, medium, large)
• Material (fabric, leather, wood)

Custom taxonomies are most useful for large web sites with large amounts of relatively complex information.
