这可以很容易地用$wpdb, 以下是我的方法：

function GetTop2CategoryByUser($user_id, $taxonomy){
    global $wpdb;

    $results=$wpdb->get_results( $wpdb->prepare( 
     "
       SELECT      tt.term_id as category, COUNT(p.ID) as count
       FROM        $wpdb->posts p

       JOIN        $wpdb->term_relationships tr 
                   ON p.ID = tr.object_id

       JOIN        $wpdb->term_taxonomy tt
                   ON tt.term_taxonomy_id = tr.term_taxonomy_id
                   AND (tt.taxonomy = %s AND tt.term_taxonomy_id != 1)

       WHERE       p.post_author = %s
       GROUP BY    tt.term_id
       ORDER BY    count DESC LIMIT 2
    ",
    $taxonomy,
    $user_id
   ) );
 return $results;
}

// Get user\'s top 2 published categories
$user_top_cat = GetTop2CategoryByUser($user_ID,$taxonomy)

// $results should return
Array
(
    [0] => stdClass Object
        (
            [term_id] => 4
            [count] => 8345
        )
    [1] => stdClass Object
        (
            [term_id] => 3
            [count] => 45345
        )
)
