Register Portfolio Custom Post Type With Taxonomy Support

Added to your child themes functions file, this code creates a custom post type named portfolio.

The code also includes support for creating custom taxonomy types for your portfolio CPT.

This code is useful when you need to modify the default labels and parameters for your CPT and Taxonomies, otherwise, you can install the Genesis Portfolio Pro plugin by StudioPress which does exactly the same thing but doesn’t enable you to modify the parameters.
