#56338 closed defect (bug) (fixed)

`taxonomy_exists()` does not guard against non-string arguments.

Description

Follow-up to #56336.

While testing the issue reported by @dd32, I came across a similar warning/error. This can be produced, for example, when using Yoast SEO for sitemaps.

Warning: Illegal offset type in isset or empty in src/wp-includes/taxonomy.php on line 340

Tested and verified by @peterwilsoncc

Adding an is_string( $taxonomy ) check to the condition in ​taxonomy_exists resolves the issue. The $taxonomy argument is documented as a string.

@costdev Can you please add test coverage for the special characters?

@costdev Can you please add test coverage for the special characters?

Hi @mukeshpanchal27, I'm not sure what you mean. Which special characters will trigger an illegal offset warning/error?
