I just want to know why get_object_taxonomies('custom-post-type-name') return empty array for custom post types but works fine with post as argument : get_object_taxonomies('post') and returns: 

array (size=3)
  0 => string 'category' (length=8)
  1 => string 'post_tag' (length=8)
  2 => string 'post_format' (length=11)

  • Are you sure the problem is not a simple typo?

  • Where are you using this code? Perhaps you're outside of the Loop so there is no object it's running on?

  • @JackJohansson I found the cause of this issue : the problem is that the post types isn't recognizable inside my plugin folder :/any idea ?

  • As you mentioned the function works fine with an argument - have you tried passing one of the CPTs as an argument to see if that works? Hard to help without further context about where and how this code is running.

I have run into the same issue. I believe the root cause is the order of execution. For the sake of experiment, I ran get_object_taxonomies() immediately after register_taxonomy(), in fact in the same function and it worked as expected. So what to do? Use add_action() hook to execute get_object_taxonomies() after register_taxonomy(). The correct order of execution can be guaranteed via 3rd argument of add_action( ... int $priority = 10 ... )
