Comment:

 There is no function called `wp_terms()`... perhaps you mean
 `the_terms()`?

 `the_terms()` is problematic because it already has 5 arguments. You might
 want to check `wp_get_object_terms()` instead.

 Because we maintain backwards compatibility, `the_terms()` will always
 (probably!) have 5 arguments, but we shouldn't add a 6th. Functions that
 have 6 arguments indicate bad design. In almost every case, a function
 like that should have have been `saner_func( $args = array() )`
