(bug) get_categories

[arena]

$args = array('hierarchical' => false,'depth'=>false,'echo'=>false,'get'=>'all');
$categories = get_categories($args);

returns

Array ( [errors] => Array ( [invalid_taxonomy] => Array ( [0] => Invalid Taxonomy ) ) [error_data] => Array ( ) )

Works for me in r11082

i do not see why this bug is related to "Check if not exists and not is_dir before bailing. Props st3ff3n."

I believe mtekk's post was that as of revision 11082, Its working as expected under trunk.

It works for me under current trunk.

Given the error message, I'd assume theres a plugin conflict; Or theres a corrupt file.

Same issue as #10160??

Seems a number of themes with a theme options page that uses get_categories fail

Technically, these themes are broken in 2.7.1 as well, but the problem won't be evident unless you're using a custom taxonomies plugin. Maybe we can init the default taxonomies right before loading the theme's functions.php to paper over the issue.

but in this case we'd lose the localization of the taxonomies. uploading a potential fix in a few minutes.

I added it after locale is setup. I think that will preserve localization.

However if someone manipulates the locale from functions.php, the taxonomies won't reflect that.

@ryan: yours works too, but doesn't fix #10160.

what I was thinking of is to disable the ability to override the default taxonomies.

nm previous comment. second patch works around the problem by doing this twice:

• before plugins and themes are loaded
• on the init hook to enforce localization

making this a blocker, as it's apparently critical to quite a few users.

(In [11573]) Register default taxonomies before theme functions are loaded to satisfy themes that don't wait until init to call taxonomy functions. Default taxonomies are registered again during init so that translations are handled correctly. Props Denis-de-Bernardy. fixes #9644 for trunk

(In [11574]) Register default taxonomies before theme functions are loaded to satisfy themes that don't wait until init to call taxonomy functions. Default taxonomies are registered again during init so that translations are handled correctly. Props Denis-de-Bernardy. fixes #9644 for 2.8.1

Tested with French and Spanish translations and with a couple custom taxonomy plugins.
