    I just upgraded to the latest version of wordpress then the updated version of wp-poll, and whenever I vote on the poll, nothing happens.

    I deactivated the plugin and activated it again, voted, still nothing happened.

    I removed the wp-poll files from the server then uploaded a newly downloaded version of wp-poll (latest version), then activated it, and I voted, nothing happens.

    No error message/s of some sort, I just click Vote or Submit, just nothing happens (sorry if I kept on repeating “nothing happens” hehe).

    OT: I’m not pleased with 2.8 right now huhu

  • Ensure that your theme footer has <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    THANKS! noticed that wordpress 2.8 is now using <?php wp_footer(); ?> unlike 2.7’s <?php get_footer(); ?>, forgot about that. thanks again hehe ;p

    I installed the update today, and after installation an error message came up stating an error caused the plugin to be deactivated. But in the plugin section is shows it was still active, but the polls were missing from the site. I’m using Atahualpa as my theme.

    Deactivate and activate the plugin again.

    I deactivated and activated the plugin again. The error message on my website says the following. “Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

    * Polls Archive

    The archive link goes to a 404 error message.

    The archive link goes to a 404 error message. <– Read the readme.html under Usage Tab.

    Check your database to see if wp_pollsa, wp_pollsq and wp_pollsip tables are created.

    I did the above but keep getting the following error when anyone tries to answer the poll:

    “Invalid Poll ID. Poll ID #1”

    I have added the footer tag
    I have deactivated and activated over
    I have deleted and recreated the widget
    I have added new polls
    I have used the default poll

    No matter what poll, users get the same error (the ID changes though depending on the poll number).

    Help?

    @gamerz yes the databases that you mentioned are in present when looking in PHPAdmin. The surveys were present and working well in WordPress 2.8 all until I installed the update to WP Polls through the plugin update.

    @mountainstream How are you adding the poll by widget or by php code? if you are using widget, try choosing a specific poll in the poll widhet options

    @hazeleyes7 I am able to vote in FF

    I have added the polls using the widget function. Still the same problems.

    How about do a uninstall via WP-Admin -> Polls -> Uninstall Polls

    GamerZ…that solved the problem.

    I experienced this same issue. It seemed to coincide with the wp 2.8 upgrade, but probably related to upgrading the plugin, not wordpress. It seems I had an old wp-polls-widget.php file hanging around so there were functions colliding that now exist in the main wp-polls.php file. deleting the old wp-polls-widget.php file fixed the problem. Hope this helps somebody else!

    It’s not working for me. Fresh installation of 2.8.

    My theme didn’t have the footer code stated above so I added it in, didn’t work.

    Similar problems here.
    Vote button doesn’t work.
    When php get_footer is replaced by php wp_footer it works. The plugin works absolutely flawlessly.

    But new problems start right there;
    Footer not visible anymore
    Statcounter code stops collecting traffic data.

    Any workaround? This plugin isn’t bug free.
