I have attached my code below. This code previously worked, but has since stopped. I can't understand why the error code is throwing now. I've marked where the error is occuring using // * ISSUE IS RIGHT HERE * //

I have looked through plenty of resources on wp_insert_term but nothing explains why I am getting invalid taxonomy in return/wp error. Can anyone help with this?
