<?php endif; ?>- To show specific poll, use
<?php get_poll(2); ?>where 2 is your poll id. - To show random poll, use
<?php get_poll(-2); ?> - To embed a specific poll in your post, use
[poll id="2"]where 2 is your poll id. - To embed a random poll in your post, use

- Go to
WP-Admin -> Appearance -> Widgets. - You can add the Polls Widget by clicking on the 'Add' link besides it.
- After adding, you can configure the Polls Widget by clicking on the 'Edit' link besides it.
- Click 'Save Changes'.
- Scroll down for instructions on how to create a Polls Archive.
- Go to
WP-Admin -> Pages -> Add New. - Type any title you like in the post's title area.
- If you ARE using nice permalinks, after typing the title, WordPress will generate the permalink to the page. You will see an 'Edit' link just beside the permalink.
- Click 'Edit' and type in
pollsarchivein the text field and click 'Save'. - Type
[page_polls]in the post's content area. - Click 'Publish'.
- If you ARE NOT using nice permalinks, you need to go to
WP-Admin -> Polls -> Poll Optionsand underPoll Archive -> Polls Archive URL, you need to fill in the URL to the Polls Archive Page you created above.
- It is because of rounding issues. To make it always round up to 100%, the last poll's answer will get the remainding percentage added to it. To enable this feature, add this to your theme's functions.php:
add_filter( 'wp_polls_round_percentage', '__return_true' );
- WP-Polls will load
polls-css.cssfrom your theme's directory if it exists. - If it doesn't exists, it will just load the default
polls-css.cssthat comes with WP-Polls. - This will allow you to upgrade WP-Polls without worrying about overwriting your polls styles that you have created.
- To solve this issue, Open poll-css.css
- Find:
/* background-color: #ffffff; */ - Replace:
background-color: #ffffff;(where #ffffff should be your background color for the poll.)
