 * I have a CPT called “multimedia.”
 * It’s used to display posts that just consist of some type of media, such as photo
   galleries, videos, or audio.
 * I have a meta field (using ACF) that I use to select the type of content (photo/
   video/audio).
 * I need to make archive templates, and I 3 different templates for the different
   media types (photo/video/audio). I want to create a taxonomy called “type”, and
   then each “type” can have its own archive template.
 * The problem is I believe by default WordPress will let users select any number
   of taxonomies.
 * How do I limit users to only selecting a single taxonomy?
