is_object_in_term() WordPress Function

The is_object_in_term() function allows you to check if a given object is in a given term. This is useful for taxonomy-related checks. The function returns true if the object is in the term, false otherwise.

is_object_in_term( int $object_id, string $taxonomy, int|string|int[]|string[] $terms = null ) #

Determines if the given object is associated with any of the given terms.


Description

The given terms are checked against the object’s terms’ term_ids, names and slugs. Terms given as integers will only be checked against the object’s terms’ term_ids. If no terms are given, determines if object is associated with any terms in the given taxonomy.
