Resetting Popularity Contest and WP-PostViews
To make the WordPress plugin “Popularity Contest” start from the beginning, deactivate the plugin and empty the table wp_ak_popularity with the following SQL-Statement:
TRUNCATE TABLE `wp_ak_popularity`
Then, reactivate the plugin.
If you want to reset the WordPress plugin “WP-PostViews” to make it count from scratch, deactivate the plugin, then use
UPDATE `wp_postmeta` SET meta_value = 0 WHERE meta_key = "views"
Then, reactivate the plugin.
(“wp_” is the default table prefix for WordPress, which might be different in your installation.)
I decided to do this because I recently upgraded my WordPress installation.
