However, if you call `term_description()` for a non-existent term you get a fatal error as PHP attempts to treat the `WP_Error` object as a string.

Patch instead returns an empty string when an error bubbles up to `term_description()`."	defect (bug)	closed	normal	3.0	Template	3.0	normal	fixed	has-patch term_description commit
