Description

Why was is_term() deprecated? I think it could be a very useful conditional statement. In the WP codex it says to replace it with term_exists() but that only checks if it is in existence. Any thoughts on this?

is_term() was not a conditional statement. It was a check to see whether a term existed. Thus, it was renamed to term_exists().

The same goes for is_post_type() and is_taxonomy(). They were not conditionals, and were renamed post_type_exists() and taxonomy_exists().

For conditional statements, you'll want is_singular( $post_type ) and is_tax( $taxonomy, $term = optional ).
