Warning: array_map(): Argument #2 should be an array … /wp-includes/category-template.php on line 1158

December 12, 2015 -

Since upgrading to WordPress 4.4 I had some sites’ post archives display with the following error –

'Warning: array_map(): Argument #2 should be an array in /home/.../public_html/wp-includes/category-template.php on line 1158'

This seems to be an issue with WordPress’ function get_the terms and the argument $items referenced as an array, and will be addressed in the next update – 4.4.1.

In the meantime you can add the patch yourself to the category-template.php in the wp-includes directory replacing the get_the_terms function.

    I tried this patch as I was having issues retrieving a custom taxonomy, after applying tis patch it appears to mess around with the standard post categories, they disappeared form the posts admin screen and the frontend (but were still there). Reverting and they came back again

      The change is not in your theme files it is in WordPress core /wp-includes/category-template.php
