 * Hello,
 * I made a custom taxonomy ‘geboortelijst’:
 *     ```
       if ( ! function_exists( 'geboortelijst_taxonomy' ) ) {
   
       // Register Custom Taxonomy
       function geboortelijst_taxonomy() {
   
       	$labels = array(
       		'name'                       => _x( 'Geboortelijsten', 'Taxonomy General Name', 'text_domain' ),
       		'singular_name'              => _x( 'Geboortelijst', 'Taxonomy Singular Name', 'text_domain' ),
       		'menu_name'                  => __( 'Geboortelijsten', 'text_domain' ),
       		'all_items'                  => __( 'Alle geboortelijsten', 'text_domain' ),
       		'parent_item'                => __( 'Parent iIem', 'text_domain' ),
       		'parent_item_colon'          => __( 'Parent Item:', 'text_domain' ),
       		'new_item_name'              => __( 'Nieuwe geboortelijst', 'text_domain' ),
       		'add_new_item'               => __( 'Nieuwe geboortelijst', 'text_domain' ),
       		'edit_item'                  => __( 'Bewerk geboortelijst', 'text_domain' ),
       		'update_item'                => __( 'Update geboortelijst', 'text_domain' ),
       		'view_item'                  => __( 'Bekijk geboortelijst', 'text_domain' ),
       		'separate_items_with_commas' => __( 'Verschillende lijsten scheiden door komma\'s', 'text_domain' ),
       		'add_or_remove_items'        => __( 'Geboortelijst toevoegen of verwijderen', 'text_domain' ),
       		'choose_from_most_used'      => __( 'Choose from the most used', 'text_domain' ),
       		'popular_items'              => __( 'Populaire geboortelijsten', 'text_domain' ),
       		'search_items'               => __( 'Geboortelijst zoeken', 'text_domain' ),
       		'not_found'                  => __( 'Niet gevonden', 'text_domain' ),
       		'no_terms'                   => __( 'Geen lijsten', 'text_domain' ),
       		'items_list'                 => __( 'Geboortelijsten', 'text_domain' ),
       		'items_list_navigation'      => __( 'Items list navigation', 'text_domain' ),
       	);
       	$args = array(
       		'labels'                     => $labels,
       		'hierarchical'               => true,
       		'public'                     => true,
       		'show_ui'                    => true,
       		'show_admin_column'          => true,
       		'show_in_nav_menus'          => false,
       		'show_tagcloud'              => false,
       		'query_var'                  => 'geboortelijst',
       	);
       	register_taxonomy( 'taxonomy', array( 'post' ), $args );
   
       }
       add_action( 'init', 'geboortelijst_taxonomy', 0 );
   
       }
       ```
   
 * I would like listing all the terms from the custom taxonomy on a page. I find
   this code:
 *     ```
       // your taxonomy name
       $tax = 'post_tag';
   
       // get the terms of taxonomy
       $terms = get_terms( $tax, [
         'hide_empty' => false, // do not hide empty terms
       ]);
   
       // loop through all terms
       foreach( $terms as $term ) {
   
         // if no entries attached to the term
         if( 0 == $term->count )
           // display only the term name
           echo '<h4>' . $term->name . '</h4>';
   
         // if term has more than 0 entries
         elseif( $term->count > 0 )
           // display link to the term archive
           echo '<h4><a href="'. get_term_link( $term ) .'">'. $term->name .'</a></h4>';
   
       }
       ```
   
 * With the variable **post_tag** the code works very well.
    Replacing the variable**
   post_tag** to **geboortelijst**, but nothing showing.
 * How can i showing all the terms from **geboortelijst** ?

 * As of version 4.5.0, the syntax for `get_terms()` has changed, so older examples
   are going to be invalid going forward. All arguments now should be in a single
   array:
 *     ```
       $args = array(
          'taxonomy'=>'geboortelijst',
          'hide_empty'=> false,
       );
       get_terms( $args );
       // the rest of your code...
       ```

 * Hi, [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/),
 * Thanks for the advice. I change the code, but this was not the solution.
    I found
   the problem
 * The taxonomy name in this case is **taxonomy**
 * `register_taxonomy( 'taxonomy', array( 'post' ), $args );`
 * Then changing the name **geboortelijst** in **taxonomy**
 *     ```
       $terms = get_terms( array(
           'taxonomy' => 'taxonomy',
           'hide_empty' => false,
       ) );
       ```
   
 * Now it works!!!
