wp_get_object_terms() WordPress Function
The wp_get_object_terms() function is used to retrieve the terms associated with a given object. It accepts an object ID and a taxonomy as its two arguments, and returns an array of terms objects.
wp_get_object_terms( int|int[] $object_ids, string|string[] $taxonomies, array|string $args = array() ) #
Retrieves the terms associated with the given object(s), in the supplied taxonomies.
Parameters
- $object_ids
(int|int[])(Required)The ID(s) of the object(s) to retrieve.
- $taxonomies
(string|string[])(Required)The taxonomy names to retrieve terms from.
- $args
(array|string)(Optional)See WP_Term_Query::__construct() for supported arguments.
Default value: array()
Return
(WP_Term[]|WP_Error) Array of terms or empty array if no terms found. WP_Error if any of the taxonomies don't exist.
More Information
It should be noted that the results from wp_get_object_terms are not cached which will result in a db call everytime this function is called. For performance, functions like get_the_terms() (which the results of has been cached), should be used.
