wp_defer_term_counting() WordPress Function

The wp_defer_term_counting() function allows you to defer the updating of term count information in the database. This can be useful when you need to update a large number of terms and don't want the overhead of updating the counts for each term. The function takes two parameters: The first parameter is the term_id of the term you want to update. The second parameter is the number of terms you want to update. The function will return an array of the deferred term_ids.

wp_defer_term_counting( bool $defer = null ) #

function wp_defer_term_counting( $defer = null ) {
	static $_defer = false;

	if ( is_bool( $defer ) ) {
		$_defer = $defer;
		// Flush any deferred counts.
		if ( ! $defer ) {
			wp_update_term_count( null, null, true );
		}
	}

	return $_defer;
}
