Summary

  • Fixes the "featured" tag being stripped from posts when saved in the block editor with Twenty Fourteen theme
  • Added wp_is_serving_rest_request() check alongside is_admin() in both hide_featured_term() and hide_the_featured_term() methods
  • Uses function_exists() guard for backward compatibility with WordPress < 6.5

Trac Ticket

https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/64882

Test Plan

  1. Activate Twenty Fourteen theme
  2. Go to Appearance → Customize → Featured Content, set tag to "featured", enable "Hide tag"
  3. Create a post with the "featured" tag
  4. Open the post in block editor — the tag should be visible
  5. Save the post — the "featured" tag should be preserved
  6. Visit /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/{id} — tags array should include the featured tag ID
