Hello @zoinks,
First, get_the_terms returns (array|false|WP_Error), see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_the_terms/, you are trying to address it as an object.
Second, before foreach($imageCategories as $category) you have to check if $imageCategories is not false or WP_Error.
Third, it may be empty because $imageID is not a correct ID for your image, for example.

Thanks for the super-speedy response, Nadia!
First, I do run the result of get_the_terms() through foreach($imageCategories as $category) so that should “de-array” it, no?
Second, yes, I’ve been putting that “if not empty and no error” variable, which many times causes nothing to be output. That’s the heart of the problem, get_the_terms() using ‘media_category’ is either generating nothing or errors.
Third, sorry, I left out that yes, I am assigning $imageID the actual image ID in the loop via $picID=get_the_ID(); And yes, it does generate valid image IDs that I’ve confirmed in the Media section.
Please post the result of var_dump( $imageCategories ).
Thanks again! Full code is…
$images = array(271, 279, 291, 326, 331, 494, 496, 498, 3041, 3043, 3044, 3045);
foreach($images as $imageID)
{
unset($labelarray);
$imageCats = get_the_terms($imageID,'media_category');
var_dump($imageCats); // ADDED YOUR var_dump()
if($imageCats && !is_wp_error($imageCats))
{
foreach($imageCats as $cat) { $catArray[] = $cat->name; }
$string = join( ", ", $catArray );
}
else { $string=$imageID; }
echo '<div style="text-align:center;">' . $string . '</div>';
}
With your var_dump($imageCats) added resulted in…

And yes, the $images to start is an array of valid image IDs under Media.
And here are snapshots of my “Media Library” and “Media Taxonomies” settings…
Hello @zoinks,
Well, it says “Invalid taxonomy.” You are trying to get the terms for taxonomy before it is being registered. What hook (or template) do you use to insert the code you provided?

Ahhh, now you’ve pointed me in the right direction… It hadn’t occurred to me that I’m firing this before your plugin registers the taxonomy, more fool me! Let me do some digging into how to get this to register AFTER that. Thank you!!
Hello @zoinks,
This may be helpful: Enhanced Media Library registers media taxonomies on init action, and assigns taxonomies created by third parties on wp_loaded action.

Thank you SO much, Nadia!! Here’s the completed test code, which will allow me to create my ACTUAL code…
if(is_zg() && !is_admin())
{ add_action('wp_loaded','zg_after_plugins_check'); }
function zg_after_plugins_check()
{
// echo zg_random_default_image(1);
$images = array(271, 279, 291, 326, 331, 494, 496, 498, 3041, 3043, 3044, 3045);
foreach($images as $imageID)
{
unset($labelarray);
$imageCats = get_the_terms($imageID,'media_category');
// var_dump($imageCats);
if($imageCats && !is_wp_error($imageCats))
{ foreach($imageCats as $cat) { $catArray[]=$cat->name; } }
else { $catArray[]=$imageID; }
}
$string = join( ", ", $catArray );
echo '<p>' . $string . '</p>';
}
“is_zg()” is my custom code to check for logged in as “super-admin” (me)
Thanks again!!
You are welcome! Glad to know your issue is resolved.
