# Adding a Custom Taxonomy

 * Hello,
 * Our website has content divided up by 30 different states, with several contributors
   in each state publishing content. The state name is set up as a custom taxonomy
   and allows us to filter posts much more easily. Is there a way to set up a custom
   taxonomy in this plugin so we can utilize “state” for the calendar and notifications
   functionality?
 * Thanks in advance!
 * Jake

   WordPress.org, but if you email [help@publishpress.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-a-custom-taxonomy/help@publishpress.com?output_format=md)
   we’ll tag you with this request and get you notified.

 * +1 for this feature. We have a range of custom taxonomies to organize our content
   and being able to incorporate those with PublishPress would be awesome!

 * Hey guys,
 * Yes, and we have good news 🙂
    There is a new beta package addressing this feature.
   Feel free to download and test it:
 * [http://packages-tmp.s3.amazonaws.com/26be2b21d7480a3828dae6c9ecfb9642/publishpress-1.15.0-beta.1.zip](http://packages-tmp.s3.amazonaws.com/26be2b21d7480a3828dae6c9ecfb9642/publishpress-1.15.0-beta.1.zip)
 * It adds a new filter for Taxonomy:
