 Today I found a bug within WordPress Multisite functions.

 From a subsite I tried accessing the terms of a custom taxonomy on site
 #1. This worked using get_term_by(), but not with get_terms(). WordPress
 returns with "Invalid Taxonomy", however I knew the taxonomy existed.

 In order to overcome this, I had to create a custom taxonomy on the
 subsite with the ''exact same name''. Then WordPress successfully returned
 the terms from site #1.

 Below is my code:


 {{{
 switch_to_blog(1);

 $taxonomy = array( 'custom_taxonomy' );

 $args = array(
         'hide_empty' => false,
         'exclude' => array(),
         'exclude_tree' => array(),
         'include' => array(),
         'number' => '',
         'fields' => 'all',
 );

 $terms = get_terms( $taxonomy, $args );

 var_dump($terms);

 restore_current_blog();
 }}}
