Description
I've found that get_terms is not outputting terms which have a count of 0 in term_taxonomy. This can be a problem for newly created categories, causing them to be lost in the database if they're not added to a post immediately. Essentially, there is no way to display terms which are not assigned to objects, allowing for numerous orphaned terms in the database.
To recreate:
- Create a new category on a post
- Uncheck the category
- Save the post
- Category is missing, however database still shows the category, but there is no way to access it

- Severity changed from major to normal
- Summary changed from get_terms is not displaying terms with a count of 0. to Categories list on post edit screen is not displaying empty categories.
Understood. Then the categories list on the post page needs to display empties, as any newly created categories will not show.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
get_terms() defaults to hiding empty terms. If the count is off (#4500), the term won't show. get_terms('taxonomy', 'get=all') will get all terms whether they are empty or not.
