get most popular posts “max_num_pages”

Hi, thanks for developing ULike I found it great for using on my website, however, I have a problem with showing the most popular (most liked) posts.

I mean after trying to show the most popular posts by ‘meta_key’ for my query I found the fact that it is impossible and also I read this topic which solved my problem somehow.

Now the main problem for me is the “max_num_pages” I use it like “$my_query->max_num_pages” to get the maximum number of the available pages.
At this time I use it for my search page, pagination so it gives me “1” instead of the real number of the maximum pages which are available.

If there is a way to solve this I am really curious about it thanks again.
