Reserved Terms

There is a complete set of reserved keywords, or terms, in WordPress that should not be used in certain circumstances as they may conflict with core functionality. You should avoid using any of these terms when:

  • Passing a term through a $_GET or $_POST array
  • Registering a taxonomy or post type slug
  • Handling query variables

For other possible variable conflicts, see Global Variables.
