 * I was recently working on a site for a client. We needed to build a page outside
   of WordPress but still use WordPress’s built in functions. We followed the codex
   method for doing this found here ( [http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website](http://codex.wordpress.org/Integrating_Wordpress_with_Your_Website))
 * Upon loading the page we were greeted with the following error : **Fatal error:
   Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /web/content/wp-includes/query.
   php on line 27**
 * After hours of narrowing down the problem we finally found that the issue was
   a conflict with the filename taxonomy.php.
 * **The solution** to this issue is to rename the file to something else then fix
   the include in ultimate-taxonomy-manager.php
 * I’d like to urge the developer to rename this file within the official repo as
   taxonomy.php is a reserved filename according to : [http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_Files_List](http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Template_Files_List)
