I am setting up a new site that is using comment ratings as I need multiple ratings per article (e.g. Quality, Performance, Overall etc), however the Top Rated Comments tab in the widget is blank, I assume this is because it only works on article ratings?
Is there a way to display the top-rated posts, by a designated comment rating meta key?
Hi Brendan Shanahan,

Yes, this works only on article ratings.
Is there a way to display the top-rated posts, by a designated comment rating meta key?
I've already asked the developers to check if it's possible to make these changes in the addon core.
FYI I was able to achieve this by using the 'wpdiscuz_after_comment_post' hook to populate a custom meta field with my combined average rating, # of rating votes, and most recent comment date/time. This allows me to use a query loop (Generate Blocks) in my sidebar with a query that is ordered by any of these meta fields, so I can create my own 'Top Rated', 'Most Recent', 'Most Active' etc.
The combined average rating of multiple rating blocks is discussed here - https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpdisuz-calculate-total-comment-rating/#post-18014164
