#56327 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

Correct returntype for `wp_get_object_terms()`

Description

Currently the wp_get_object_terms() function and the get_object_terms / wp_get_object_terms filters specify that the return value is WP_Term[] or WP_Term[] | WP_Error, but that's not correct.

wp_get_object_terms() ultimately wraps get_terms() and per the $args that are passed through, accepts a field value which is best described by ​WP_Term_Query::__construct().

As a result, the data-type is better described by the return value of get_terms(): WP_Term[]|int[]|string[]|string|WP_Error. If one assumes the current documentation, you'll likely run into fatal errors when the calling code expected it to be int[] or string[].

Per ticket, this should also touch the filter value for the get_object_terms and wp_get_object_terms filters
