Custom Query Loop

I’m creating a custom topic query for a section of my website that hooks into the default loop template. In the template I use
<?php if ( bbp_has_topics(array( 'posts_per_page' => 7, 'max_num_pages' => 1, 'bbp_voice_count' => 'DESC', order => 'DESC' )) ) : ?>

What I’m trying to achieve is a query the shows 7 topics that have the most participants over the last few days. I went with order as the time query but clearly making sure it only shows topics that have BOTH a large amount of users AND are currently active is what I’m trying to achieve.

Any hints or different args to use to achieve this?

sidenote: I doesn’t seem bbp_voice_count works?

Here is a start to the code. I got some help on a differnt forum:

<?php if ( bbp_has_topics(array( 'posts_per_page' => 3, 'max_num_pages' => 1, 'order' => 'DESC','meta_key' => '_bbp_voice_count', 'orderby' => 'meta_value_num' )) ) : ?>

How would I add time as “since x number of days” to this query. I only want it showing the most popular voice count that are fresh within the last week or so. Any clues?

check out this reference (bbp_has_topics passes the info to wp_query)

https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query

about two thirds of the way down (and it’s a long way down!) you’ll find date parameters and examples
