    Dear all

    (unfortunately, it seems that the developer is no longer reacting…)

    This nice plugin, which I have enhanced for me with own code, is no longer working with WP 5.5.

    It is yet to be determined, why (I couldn’t find out so far).

    If anybody has a clue – don’t hesitate to help this community.

    Thanks!!

    Michael

    Just a small add-on remark:

    With the update to WordPress 5.5, a migration tool known as jquery-migrate will no longer be enabled by default. This is the reason for Democracy Poll no longer working.

    A plugin called “Enable jQuery Migrate Helper” serves as a temporary solution, enabling the migration script for the sites to give old and outdated plugins like Democracy Poll and as well old and outdated themes a chance to survive and their authors some more time to update, and test, their code.

    It would be most favorable, if Kama (the author) would at least modify the related part of this plugin’s code to help it survive on the longer term…

    Strange:

    Noe it works even without jquery-migrate-helper… ?!?!

    Caching?

    First of all, I am glad that the silence is broken and the really nice plugin has received a WP5.5 update/test.

    My problem is solved anyway (I don‘t use [page]caching):
    I inserted ?var $ = jQuery;“ in a few of my scripts, which made everything work robust again.
    The use of $ instead of jQuery is obviously a known specialty in WP.

    Best regards
