   Is there a way to limit the categories displayed to only the 5 most recently posted in Categories?

   There are 3 main Categories (Past, Present, Future) and subcategories under those. I want to list the subcategories but limit it to displaying no more then 5 or 10 of the most recently posted in Category.

   You will have to try it again.
   Do you mean you want to display only the subcategories in which there are posts recently published?
   I don't remember seeing any solution for something like this.

   I want it to display 5 to 10 of the sub-catagories most recently posted in.

   You could try this:

   
<ul>
<?php
$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10');
foreach($posts as $post) :
setup_postdata($post);
?>
<li><?php the_category(); ?></li>
<?php
endforeach;
?>
</ul>


   Let me know if this works, I'm at work so I can't test it for myself.
