Displaying taxonomy name in archive page broken with version 1.8

    Hello!

    I’m using this code to display the taxonomy name in a taxonomy archive page:

    $term = get_term_by( 'slug', get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );
echo '<h6>' . $term->name . '</h6>';

    This code produced the following result:

    <h6>Taxonomy name</h6>

    But after updating to version 1.8, instead of displaying the taxonomy name, it displays the name of the current language:

    <h6>Language name</h6>

    I haven’t changed anything else.
    Could this be a bug?
    And if not, does anyone know how to fix this?

    Thank you!!

    Hi!

    Could you give some precisions about your taxonomy? Is it a custom taxonomy or have you the same issue on categories and post tags archives?

    If it is a custom taxonomy, Is it translated? Is it a taxonomy for a custom post type or for regular posts? If a custom post post type, is it translated?

    It is a custom taxonomy for a custom post type.
    Both the taxonomy and the custom post type are translated.
    It was working ok in the previous version (1.7.12).

    I confirm the issue. This is a rather weird bug introduced by a combination of 3 factors.
    1. An old bug in WP -> I opened a ticket and proposed a patch. See #35619
    2. A change in Polylang forced by WP 4.4
    3. A change in Polylang 1.8 made before WP 4.4 was released.

    I will see how my ticket will evolve to decide if I will have to find a workaround.

    Meanwhile you can replace your code with:

    $term = get_queried_object();
echo '<h6>' . $term->name . '</h6>';

    The code you provided worked perfectly.
    Thank you!!

    And my proposed patch for WP has been accepted and will come in WordPress 4.5.
