get_objects_in_term( int|int[] $term_ids, string|string[] $taxonomies, array|string $args = array() )

Retrieves object IDs of valid taxonomy and term.

Description

The strings of $taxonomies must exist before this function will continue.
On failure of finding a valid taxonomy, it will return a WP_Error.

The $terms aren’t checked the same as $taxonomies, but still need to exist for object IDs to be returned.

It is possible to change the order that object IDs are returned by using $args with either ASC or DESC array. The value should be in the key named ‘order’.

Parameters

$term_ids

(Required) Term ID or array of term IDs of terms that will be used.

$taxonomies

(Required) String of taxonomy name or Array of string values of taxonomy names.

$args

(Optional) Change the order of the object IDs, either ASC or DESC.

Default value: array()

Return

(string[]|WP_Error) An array of object IDs as numeric strings on success, WP_Error if the taxonomy does not exist.
