Thread: Elegant way to add new taxonomy

Elegant way to add new taxonomy

Hi,
I would like to add a new taxonomy to a job posting . Eg- Minimum educational qualification.

I'm able to do it by modifying the file ~\wp-content\themes\jobroller\includes\admin\admin-post-types.php
I'm wary of doing it in the above fashion as it would break when the next upgrade is published.

I would like to know what is the elegant way of doing it . I've created a child theme where i have done all the customizations i need like icons for new jobtypes, custom footer etc.

I'm new to wordpress & programming for the web but not new to programming in general ( c, c++, vb) . I can research further even if you provide me any leads on the concepts.
I'm willing to pay for a step by step tutorial .

Any help would be appreciated .

Thanks
Sundaram
