### Features

The leaderboard information is fetched for a period of a year and sorted by `likes received` by default. You can change this along with other options from the theme settings page.

> ℹ The user directory must be enabled for the Top Contributors list to be populated. If your list is blank, search `enable user directory` in your admin settings to make sure it’s enabled.

> ℹ The sidebar will only be visible when the browser is 767px or wider (most tablets and monitors).
