Custom taxonomies – how do you deal with them?

    So say you have a WordPress site, but wish to have a few more options than just Categories and Tags. What do you do?

    (1) Copy it down to your themes functions.php file. But what happens when you update it / wish to change themes? Copy it all in again?

    (2) Use a plugin such as the WCK – Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Creator. What if support for this plugin is discontinued?

    If one were to export/import the blog as an XML file into a new WordPress installation, how would one go about integrating the custom taxonomies assigned before and after the transition?

    Thanks in advance. Sorry if this sounds confused – that just reflects my own state of mind here.

  • Write a plugin. If you really want to put the code in a theme, use a child theme to avoid modifying the main theme.

    If you use an existing plugin, but support is discontinued, you will have to maintain the plugin yourself (which might not be very hard).
