14914	Potential Bug in wp_update_term() when using get_term filter	jfarthing84		"Here's the situation: I am using the ""get_term"" filter to automatically load other related term objects.

For instance, I have a ""widget"" taxonomy that is related to the ""factory"" taxonomy. I store the ""factory"" ID in the ""widget"" term taxonomy meta table I have created. Then, using the ""get_term"" filter, I automatically load the ""factory"" term object as a property of the ""widget"" term object.

The problem arises when wp_update_term() is called with an object as a property of the term because of the call to add_magic_quotes() call on the term immediately. It expects strings only.

This seems like it defeats the purpose of the ""get_term"" filter if I can't add to the object without crashing WP.

So, in order to prevent this from happening, there should be some kind of filtering mechanism when wp_update_term() is called, as to only pass the default term properties into the validation functions. Perhaps even a ""pre_update_term"" filter would work, called before get_term() so that the ""get_term"" filter could be removed before hand."	defect (bug)	closed	normal		Taxonomy	3.0.1	major	invalid	dev-feedback	jeff@…
