[Plugin: Popularity Contest] cannot change popularity values

I’ve found the solution.

Here’s how you can make the Popularity Values updating work:

In my case, the corresponding fields in the ak_popularity_options mysql table were missing. I had to add them manually. If you have the same problem, you can use the following sql:

INSERT INTOyour_prefix_ak_popularity_options(option_name,option_value`) VALUES
(’searcher_value’, ‘2′),
(’single_value’, ‘10′),
(’home_value’, ‘2′),
(’archive_value’, ‘4′),
(’category_value’, ‘6′),
(’tag_value’, ‘6′),
(’feed_value’, ‘1′),
(’comment_value’, ‘20′),
(’pingback_value’, ‘50′),
(’trackback_value’, ‘80′);

After that you can change the Popularity Values from the plugin options page.
