Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records EDH Recent Category Manager version 1.3.2 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
Overview
About this plugin
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Whenever a post is published, unpublished, or permanently deleted, the membership is recalculated instantly.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.
