 I just upgraded to WP 4.7, and suddenly code that uses get_post_type($id)
 stopped returning anything, and didn't throw an error either.

 After trying a few things, I found that it would start working again if I
 changed my code from


 {{{
 get_post_type($id)
 }}}

 to


 {{{
 get_post_type(intval($id))
 }}}

 But I can't find anything in the docs about WP suddenly requiring explicit
 integer values. Anyone else seeing this?
