Description

Retrieve the currently-queried object. For example:

• if you're on a single post, it will return the post object
• if you're on a page, it will return the page object
• if you're on an archive page, it will return the post type object
• if you're on a category archive, it will return the category object
• if you're on an author archive, it will return the author object
• etc.

Note that precedence plays an important role. As an example, if you visit a custom post type archive while also passing in a taxonomy term (ie. /my-post-type/?my_taxonomy=term), the request is both a post archive and a taxonomy archive. In this case it isn't obvious that get_queried_object() will return the term object and not the post type object (as of WordPress 4.3). The implication is that you cannot necessarily rely on get_queried_object() returning a post type simply because is_post_type_archive() is true.
