Sorting Drop Down Menu

Hello, since we downloaded the last theme update, we see that there is now a sorting drop down menu on each of our category pages (like this) http://inspirelle.com/category/inspire/ which we didn’t have before. I would be fine with this, except that we chose not to use the 7 day most popular sorting option because your documentation says that enabling this carries a slight penalty. What does that exactly mean? And if it carries such a penalty, which are we required to have this on the drop down menu?

I also found that the Most popular filter doesn’t work well for us. I have tried to use this filter option in other blocks on our website, but the most read articles didn’t necessarily show up in the sort.

Hi

Please check our documentation for more details about 7 days sorting: https://forum.tagdiv.com/newsmag-7-days-post-sorting/ There is a small penalty with this sorting when a cache plugin it’s used, but this can be corrected by enabling ajax view counter from theme pane > post settings: http://screencast.com/t/CvaGwzA8jEI

The 7 days most popular posts works like this:
– first you need to have post view counter enabled from theme panel > post settings
– the sort start counting from the moment all conditions are meet, for example if you enabled the post view counter yesterday the theme will display posts with most views staring from yesterday. The theme will not consider the previous post’s views, will consider only the views from the moment when popular sort it’s enabled and post view counter is also active on the page.

I hope this helps.
Thanks!
