Comment (by roshniahuja14):
I've submitted a pull request for this issue: https://github.com/WordPress
/wordpress-develop/pull/11372
Changes:
- Added wp_is_serving_rest_request() check alongside is_admin() in both
hide_featured_term() and hide_the_featured_term() methods in
twentyfourteen/inc/featured-content.php
- Used function_exists() guard for backward compatibility with WordPress
< 6.5
How to reproduce:
1. Activate Twenty Fourteen theme
2. Go to Appearance → Customize → Featured Content, set tag to
"featured", enable "Hide tag from displaying in post details"
3. Create a post with the "featured" tag
4. Open the post in the block editor — the tag is missing from the Tags
panel
5. Save the post — the "featured" tag gets permanently removed
After the fix:
- The "featured" tag is visible in the block editor and preserved on
save
- The REST API (/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/{id}) correctly returns the tag
- The tag remains hidden on the front end as intended
