Get Terms Not Consistent

    Getting terms from some users inexplicably do not show up. I cannot figure out why. I am using the get terms samples below and while this works for the majority of my users I have user accounts with terms assign to them that have absolutely nothing show up. I have even changed $user->ID to the users actual id number and still nothing. I have gone in the database and have confirmed the terms are being recorded and the relationships between the object_id and the term_taxonomy_id exist in the term relationships. In two specific cases my object_id is 8 and 34. I can take the below script, paste it on any page, replace $user->ID with 34 and zero terms are returned. I’d really love some feedback as I am truly perplexed.

    echo get_the_term_list( $user->ID, 'service', '<p><span class="label">Services:</span><span class="data">', ', ', '</span></p>' );
    or

    $terms = get_the_terms(  $user->ID, 'service' );
    if( ! empty( $terms ) ) :
        foreach( $terms as $term ) : ?>
        <div class="<?php echo $term->slug; ?>"><?php echo $term->description; ?></div
<?php endforeach;
    endif;

    Really hard to diagnose, can I confirm that the service taxonomy you created is for users only.

    Can you try https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/wp_get_object_terms

    eg

    $terms = wp_get_object_terms( $user->ID, ‘service’ );

    print_r($terms);

    It is a lot safer than get_the_terms which is really just for posts

    Thanks for the update. Not sure I can explain why but Monday when I got back to work on this everything seemed to be working correctly but I appreciate the response and the wp_get_object_terms code.

    I have adjust me code. Everything looks like it is working well.

    $service_terms = wp_get_object_terms(  $user->ID, 'service' );
if ( ! empty( $service_terms ) ) {
    echo '<p><span class="label">Services:</span><span class="data">';
	if ( ! is_wp_error( $service_terms ) ) {
		echo '<ul>';
			foreach( $service_terms as $service_term ) {
				echo '<li><a href="' . get_term_link( $service_term->slug, 'service' ) . '">' . esc_html( $service_term->name ) . '</a></li>'; 
			}
		echo '</ul>';
	}
}

    Thank You
