 The populate_terms() function in this class still throws a PHP fatal error
 on the get_term() query. Why?
 In special circumstances, get_term() returns NULL and the variable $term
 is not checked to see if it is still an object or already boolean.
 $term = NULL and this leads to a fatal PHP error and the page loading is
 aborted because $term->object_id does not work with NULL.
 NULL->object_id
