    If you’re checking for the presence of any terms from a given taxonomy on a post, you can pass in an empty string as the first parameter.

    Example

    if( has_term('', 'genre') ){
    	// do something
    }
    

    This is useful if you want to conditionally display some markup that applies only if terms have been added to a post.
