Changeset 35227 for trunk/src/wp-includes/taxonomy-functions.php

Message:

Return null from get_term() on taxonomy mismatch.

[34997] caused get_term() to return an error object in the case when
$taxonomy did not match the taxonomy of the located term. This was an
inadvertant change from the previous behavior, when get_term() would return
null in these cases.

Props dlh.
See #14162. Fixes #34332.
