Here is what I did to fix it.
1.) Upload a blank 1×1 gif.
2.) Edit popularity-contest/popularity-contest.php
3.) Search for function akpc_api_record_view
4.) Comment out the following line.
header(‘Content-type: image/jpeg’);
5.) Just below that line add the following.
header(“Location: /blank_image.gif”);
Just adjust the location to wherever you uploaded the blank gif in step #1.
