EDH Recent Category Manager

EDH Recent Category Manager removes the manual work of curating a « recent articles » category or tag. Once configured, the plugin silently monitors your site and ensures that exactly the number of posts you choose are always assigned to your selected category or tag — no more, no less.

Whenever a post is published, unpublished, or permanently deleted, the membership is recalculated instantly. The oldest post drops out and the newest one takes its place.

Features

• Settings page nested under the Posts menu in the WordPress admin.
• Choose to manage either a Category or a Tag.
• Choose any existing category (excluding the site default) or any existing tag as the managed term.
• Select between 1 and 15 posts to maintain.
• Switching taxonomy type or changing the managed term cleanly removes the plugin’s assignments from the previous one.
• Changing the post count takes effect immediately without waiting for the next publish event.
• No configuration files or code edits required after activation.
