[Resolved] How to list taxonomies with recent posts?

Hi, I'm trying to generate a simple list of taxonomy names for any taxonomy that has a recent post - within the last week or month.

I would like to show the list in order of the taxonomy with the newest post first.

I thought it would be easy but if I choose to make a View using taxonomy there is no query filter for dates / time like there is for posts.

I could tell you what I've done so far but it'll only confuse us all, is there an easy way to do this? thanks

Dear Morktron,

Views plugin is using wordpress class WP_Term_Query to query the terms of taxonomy, see wordpress document:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_term_query/__construct/
Parameter: 'orderby'
(string) Field(s) to order terms by. Accepts term fields ('name', 'slug', 'term_group', 'term_id', 'id', 'description', 'parent'), 'count' for term taxonomy count, 'include' to match the 'order' of the $include param, 'slug__in' to match the 'order' of the $slug param, 'meta_value', 'meta_value_num', the value of $meta_key, the array keys of $meta_query, or 'none' to omit the ORDER BY clause. Defaults to 'name'.
There isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin or WordPress:
show the list in order of the taxonomy with the newest post first.

So it needs custom codes, but you can try to contact our "Toolset Contractors" for it:
