Comment:

 In [changeset:"60661" 60661]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60661"
 Taxonomy: Check the result of `get_term()` in
 `WP_Term_Query::get_terms()`.

 `get_term()` can return `WP_Error` or `null` on failure, so the result
 should be verified as a `WP_Term` instance before accessing the `count`
 property.

 This commit prevents a PHP warning if `get_term()` returns `null` for a
 child term:
 {{{
 Warning: Attempt to read property "count" on null
 }}}

 Follow-up to [27458], [37572].

 Props josephscott, coleatkinson1, kebbet, jakariaistauk, sabernhardt,

 Fixes #63877.
