    • (string|array) Taxonomy name, or array of taxonomies, to which results should be limited.
  • orderby: (string) Field(s) to order terms by. Accepts:
    • term fields (‘name’, ‘slug’, ‘term_group’, ‘term_id’, ‘id’, ‘description’, ‘parent’, ‘term_order’). Unless object_ids is not empty, ‘term_order’ is treated the same as ‘term_id’.
    • ‘count’ for term taxonomy count.
    • ‘include’ to match the ‘order’ of the $include param.
    • ‘slug__in’ to match the ‘order’ of the $slug param.
    • ‘meta_value’, ‘meta_value_num’.
    • the value of meta_key.
    • the array keys of meta_query.
    • ‘none’ to omit the ORDER BY clause. Defaults to ‘name’.
  • order
    • (string) Whether to order terms in ascending or descending order. Accepts ‘ASC’ (ascending) or ‘DESC’ (descending). Default ‘ASC’.
  • hide_empty

  • include
    • (array|string) Array or comma/space-separated string of term IDs to include. Default empty array.
  • exclude

  • exclude_tree
    • (array|string) Array or comma/space-separated string of term IDs to exclude along with all of their descendant terms. If $include is non-empty, $exclude_tree is ignored. Default empty array.
  • number
    • (int|string) Maximum number of terms to return. Accepts ”|0 (all) or any positive number. Default ”|0 (all). Note that $number may not return accurate results when coupled with $object_ids. See #41796 for details.

    • (int) The number by which to offset the terms query.
    • ‘fields’
      (string) Term fields to query for. Accepts:
    • ‘all’ Returns an array of complete term objects (WP_Term[]).
    • ‘all_with_object_id’ Returns an array of term objects with the ‘object_id’ param (WP_Term[]). Works only when the $object_ids parameter is populated.
    • ‘ids’ Returns an array of term IDs (int[]).
    • ‘tt_ids’ Returns an array of term taxonomy IDs (int[]).
    • ‘names’ Returns an array of term names (string[]).
    • ‘slugs’ Returns an array of term slugs (string[]).
    • ‘count’ Returns the number of matching terms (int).
    • ‘id=>parent’ Returns an associative array of parent term IDs, keyed by term ID (int[]).
    • ‘id=>name’ Returns an associative array of term names, keyed by term ID (string[]).
    • ‘id=>slug’ Returns an associative array of term slugs, keyed by term ID (string[]). Default ‘all’.
  • ‘count’

    • (string|array) Optional. Slug or array of slugs to return term(s) for.
  • ‘hierarchical’
    • (bool) Whether to include terms that have non-empty descendants (even if $hide_empty is set to true). Default true.
  • ‘search’
    • (string) Search criteria to match terms. Will be SQL-formatted with wildcards before and after.
  • ‘name__like’
    • (string) Retrieve terms with criteria by which a term is LIKE name__like.

    • (string) Whether to return terms regardless of ancestry or whether the terms are empty. Accepts ‘all’ or empty (disabled).
  • ‘child_of’
    • (int) Term ID to retrieve child terms of. If multiple taxonomies are passed, $child_of is ignored. Default 0.
  • ‘parent’
    • (int|string) Parent term ID to retrieve direct-child terms of.
  • ‘childless’
    • (bool) True to limit results to terms that have no children. This parameter has no effect on non-hierarchical taxonomies. Default false.
  • ‘cache_domain’
    • (string) Unique cache key to be produced when this query is stored in an object cache. Default is ‘core’.
  • ‘update_term_meta_cache’
    • (bool) Whether to prime meta caches for matched terms. Default true.
  • ‘meta_query’
    • (array) Optional. Meta query clauses to limit retrieved terms by.
