The get_term_children() is a WordPress builtin function and it will merge all term children into a single array. This recursive function will merge all of the children of $term into the same array. Only useful for taxonomies which are hierarchical.
Will return an empty array if $term does not exist in $taxonomy.
Return Values:
array|WP_Error) Array of Term IDs. WP_Error returned if $taxonomy does not exist.

'">' . $term->name . '</a></li>'; } echo '</ul>'; ?> |
