Thanks for the plugin and a suggestion
by joel05·6 months ago
This plugin is perfect. Thank you so much to the creators. The only thing that I miss is being able to make anonymous polls, so I would like to be able to activate an option in the poll for anonymous polls, in which the logs show all the votes together, without indicating what option each person has voted for.
Awesome work!
by Zeljko Jagust·1 year ago
For the ones who know something about HTML and CSS syntax, this plugin is perfect! It does exactly what is needed regarding polls, while the looks can be fully customized. IMHO, a brilliant piece of work!
Used for long time, now got a problem
by Dani·2 years ago
Hi there,
I’ve been using this plugin and loved it for its simplicity alongside with the ability to customize the look and feel.
Somehow, at some point, the admin interface changed and I am now able to see the answers of all users. Before, I was only able to see how many users voted for each answer, not who. This is a major problem for me.
Is there any way to hide the usernames from the answers given? I need to see which users voted, but not what answer they gave. The answers should only be seen as a total for each option.
Thanks
Nice feature set, doesn’t work with cache
by expirator·3 years ago
Love the feature set, easy to use, great to work with, but it fails with my cache setup (standard Cloudflare) setup.
Have to remove it a site and move to another solution, sadly this was after my install, setting up on my custom post types, etc.
Would love to see it updated in the future.
Excellent
