 * I am using the following code to get the ID number of a term:
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$terms = get_the_terms( $post->ID, 'parent-company' );
       	if ( $terms && ! is_wp_error( $terms ) ) :
       		$parentCompany = array();
       		foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
       			$termId[] = $term->term_id;
       		}
       		$termId = join( ", ", $termId );
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The value of $termId in this case is just ’70’. And I’m trying to use it like
   so:
 * `<li><a href="<?php echo get_term_link($termId, 'parent-company'); ?>">View Franchisees:
   </a></li>`
 * However it gives the following error:
    `Catchable fatal error: Object of class
   WP_Error could not be converted to string in...`
 * Whereas if I try :
    `<li><a href="<?php echo get_term_link(70, 'parent-company');?
   >">View Franchisees:</a></li>`
 * Then it works fine! Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?

 * Never mind, I fixed it with:
    `<li><a href="<?php echo get_term_link(intval($
   termId), 'parent-company'); ?>">View Franchisees:</a></li>`

 * I was just having the same error but I changed it to
 * `get_term_link($term->slug, $term->taxonomy)`
 * All working now.
