Error memory limit on one child with same name as parent / or child empty with only the char(s) $ and a blank space after

[RubenMartins]

Hi, I'm having a error on importing child's with same name as parent on a custom taxonomy

For example importing as (import char $):

Tax
$ Tax2
$ Tax
Tax3

This breaks as the Tax as a child with the same name.

This bug also occur when one or more childs are empty

@RubenMartins thanks for reporting that one!

I'm unable to reproduce this one. Could you send me step by step instructions on how to repro it? Thanks!

I'm not sure how that case should work. WordPress core does not allow creating empty terms in the administration as well. Who would want an empty term name anyway?

Hi @tyxla

This breaks as the Tax as a child with the same name.

This bug occur on big lists like 2k/3k items and if one of them has a child with the same name as the parent then the memory_limit error appears. This is happening with a import of Country > Council > Parish import on a custom taxonomy.
Now its working because I found this by debugging trying only a few step by step until came to this conclusion.

This probably only be noticed on shared servers with some limitations but after I figure this out and fix the lines with bug the importer worked as expected ;)

This bug also occur when one or more child's are empty

This should not be a common error since there is no need for empty custom tax but this was due to bad building of the list os country>council>parish on a few I by mistake left blank like this

Tax
$ Tax_1
$ Tax_2
$ 
Tax1

Where the third line "$ " causes this issue.

PHP	7.0.20
WordPress	4.8

Thanks for clarifying @RubenMartins! I'm not planning on working on this plugin immediately, but I will make sure to ping you when I have a solution for this issue.
