   Is there a way to exclude a particular category from the popularity contest??? My contests get tons of comments which shows them as my most popular posts but I don't want that.

   I have a similar problem. I need to exclude a category from the popularity contest as I use it to display WordPress themes and I don't want the Popularity: n% to show up on this page. Neither, I want this to appear on my pages.

   Alex says on his page:

   If you don't want to edit the .php file, you can add this to your WordPress index.php file:

   @define('AKPC_SHOWPOP', 0);

   I try to add this line of code to my category page but with no success. I put <?php @define('AKPC_SHOWPOP', 0); ?> on top of my category page (category-49.php). Am I doing something wrong?.

   Any ideas? Thanks

   I have found a way to fix this.

   I add some css on the page where I want to hide popularity contest. For example, on my page category-47.php, I add the following code right after <?php get_header(); ?>:

   <style type="text/css">
   /*<![CDATA[*/
   /* Hide Popularity Contest */
   .akpc_pop {
   	overflow: hidden;
   	visibility: hidden;
   }
   /*]]>*/
   </style>

   It does the trick, though I think there should be another way to do it.
