如何仅显示WordPress中最新类别的自定义分类的帖子

Question

I have a custom taxonomy called Issues (like magazine issues) with categories named after the title of each issue. I created a page called "Current Issue" and added a link to it in the main navigation of the site.

This is the loop I have in the page template now:

$categories = get_terms('issue', 'orderby=count&order=asc');
     foreach( $categories as $category ): 
     ?>
     <h3><?php echo $category->name; ?></h3>
     <?php
     $posts = get_posts(array(
     'post_type' => 'issue_posts',
     'taxonomy' => $category->taxonomy,
     'term' => $category->slug,
     'nopaging' => true,
     ));
     foreach($posts as $post): 
     setup_postdata($post); 

It does order the categories and posts appropriately, but this pulls in all the posts for all the categories. I need the link to show only the most recently added category.

Answer 1

The most recently added term will be the one with the highest ID. Fetch a single term ordered by ID in descending order and you will have the one most recently added.

$args = array(
    'number' => 1,
    'orderby' => 'ID',
    'order' => 'DESC'
);

$recent_issue = get_terms( 'issue', $args );
