 * Hi. I have added a custom taxonomy to the job listings and I would now like to
   have a page display only the listings that are using this taxonomy. For example,
   the taxonomy is “Other Features” and the Feature is “call for entry”. I then 
   want the call for entry page to display a list of openings that have “call for
   entry” selected in the custom taxonomy.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcustom-taxonomy-53%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Thanks for your reply. Perhaps you can point me to where the shortcode is built
   that allows you to add the job_category to the shortcode and I can implement 
   adding in the new taxonomy?

 * Hi [@outboxin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/outboxin/),
 * Once you’ve registered the custom taxonomy:
 * For the `[jobs]` shortcode, assuming you’re are using the filter form:
 * – Override the job filter form template (`job_manager/job-filters.php`)
    – Hook
   into the `job_manager_get_listings_args` filter (from `includes/class-wp-job-
   manager-ajax.php`) to add it to what is passed to `get_job_listings()`. – Hook
   into `job_manager_get_listings` to modify the `WP_Query` args used to query the
   job and be aware of the taxonomy.
 * If you want it on the submission form, you’ll also need to add a field using 
   the `submit_job_form_fields` filter. See `includes/forms/class-wp-job-manager-
   form-submit-job.php` for an example of adding a field of type `term-select` or`
   term-multiselect`.
 * Best of luck!
