failed to filter hook `get_terms_defaults`
Filters are for modifying data that’s passed through them. You need to take the input, modify it, then return it. function exclude_not_allowed_terms( $args, $taxonomies ) { if(!current_user_can(‘edit_others_posts’) && in_array( ‘my-taxonomy’, $taxonomies ) ) { $args[‘meta_query’] = array( array( ‘key’ => ‘owner’, ‘value’ => get_current_user_id() ) ); } return $args; } add_filter( ‘get_terms_defaults’,’exclude_not_allowed_terms’, 20, 2 );
