Confusion regarding "sorting by popularity" in blocks

Posted in: Newspaper

Hey guys,

I’m running into a confusing issue content blocks. When I set them to display “all categories” sorted by “popular all time”, I’m getting different results in different areas on the page.

Rather than describing everything out , I made a quick screencast of the issue:

Ultimately I want these blocks to show the same results.

Also had a question about the “view count” in post settings.

If you toggle it off, does it actually kill the view-counting function “altogether”? I ask because I have blog articles that have outperformed (according to google analytics) previously popular posts by a landslide, however they don’t show up. Even if I change the block to sort by the parent category that the recent popular post is under… it still doesn’t show up.

Is there a way to reset the view counter or manually edit the view count of a specific post?

Thanks for any help with this.

Hi,

If you have unique articles enabled on page you will have different result on blocks even it is set the same settings. So please make sure that you don’t have this active: http://screencast.com/t/SQPnrNezWYTh
I’m not sure what you mean, but you can edit view count from custom fields: http://screencast.com/t/ovwSRJh30

Hope this helps!
