Get_terms with a minimum # of posts WordPress
- SOLVED
This one is really baffling me an I don't see anything in the codex. I want to basically return all terms in a taxonomy that have at least 5 posts- to weed out some one off or rarely use taxonomy terms. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I want to do this in the get_terms and not afterwards because I am using pagination. If I limit posts after get terms it would cause lopsided pagination - not to mention other possible adverse issues.

The idea would be:
1. Get an array of terms with less than minimum posts
2. Call get_terms() excluding this terms
Well I'm going to see how do this and I write you.

$terms = get_terms('your_taxonomy');
$excluded_terms = array();
foreach($terms as $term)
{
if($term->count < MINIMUM)
$excluded_terms[] = $terms->term_id;
}
get_terms('your_taxonomy', array('exclude' => $bad_terms));
This would be.

Quick reply here and maybe a push in the right direction, you may need to use wp_query to hook onto the query before the query executes.
$posts = new WP_Query( "taxonomy=$taxonomy&term=$term->slug&posts_per_page=2" );

Hi mackrider
There is a way to modify the 'get_terms' function my using the 'term_clauses' filter.
If you want to change the term count to at least 5 you could to something like this:
function my_terms_clauses($clauses, $taxonomy, $args){
//print_r($clauses);
$clauses['where'] = str_replace("tt.count > 0","tt.count > 4", $clauses['where']);
return $clauses;
}
add_filter('terms_clauses', 'my_terms_clauses', 1);
You can also uncomment
//print_r($clauses);
to see explicitly how to modify it.
Hope this helps.
