Please note: Every Ranking system should have a page, which should be selected from the dropdown.
You need to select Condition for Rankings which can be for Most Views/Comments/Votes/Shares and this condition works along with Minimal score.
At the same time please note that if Condition = Most Views/Comments/Votes/Sharesm than:
Trending shows post with Most Condition for a 24 hours
Hot shows posts with Most Condition for a 7 days
Popular shows posts with Most Condition for a 30 days
For example: If you selected Condition = Views Popular ▸ score = 5
Then in Popular page users will see posts which have at least 5 views within 1 month. Also the posts will have that Popular Badge on post featured image in listing page. The same works for Hot and Trending.
Please note: Currently, there is no option to change this limitation even with custom code.
