[Plugin: WP-Polls] Poll Widgets Don’t Work

  • The plugin doesn’t work. I have no poll widget in the widgets section and if I try to add the poll manually by editing the sidebar.php the poll doesn’t display correctly. In fact it only displays the h2 and a bullet (list).

    I run the latest wp 2.6.2 and the ads minded theme by sapiensbryan.com. No wordpress include and admin files have been modified.

    Yes, of course, there is where I found out that a widget should exist in the wordpress administrator panel. But no poll widget is there…

    Did you activate the poll widget?

    Taken from the readme:
    1. Activate WP-Polls Widget Plugin.
    2. Go to ‘WP-Admin -> Design -> Widgets’.
    3. You can add the Polls Widget by clicking on the ‘Add’ link besides it.
    4. After adding, you can configure the Polls Widget by clicking on the ‘Edit’ link besides it.
    5. Click ‘Save Changes’.
    6. Scroll down for instructions on how to create a Polls Archive.

    Oh, I was gonna say are you kidding me, but then I have seen that indeed that was the problem. I need to actually activate two plugins. The WP-Polls AND WP-Polls Widget.

    Thanks, this solved it now!

    I haven’t posted any questions or messages here on this website. Is there a ranking system or something similar where I can give you reputation points?

    Can anybody help me? My WP-polls plug-in suddenly stop working after an upgrade. I don’t have the option to vote, even as an “never voted” user.
    Archives repeat the same poll every time, and yes I different poll ID# but they all come out as the same.

    Anyone?

    Try on the default theme with no other plugins acticvated

    thanks ill give it a try

    No, still not working. Could it be a setting?

    Notice when you mouse over the View Results the url is messed? Do a uninstall and install it again.

    I did that 5 times, with all different versions going back to 2.6, still didnt work:(

    I dont even see view results, is that on the Archives or the countries page? And why is the archvies repeating, its weird. This plugin is fantasic and I rely on it is a big way. I saw in a forum that AJAX may cause problems, could that be it, is there a simple version you can suggest just to get it going again?

    Do note that the poll have to be embedded using [poll id=”22″] where 22 is the poll id and restore all poll templates to default
