WordPress Poll Plugins

By Scot Manaher · 2 Comments

Finding a WordPress poll plugin that covers all the features standard polls comes with plus so you can easily add it to your sidebar in the form of a widget is essential to make better use of your sidebar.

I look for plugins through the backend of WordPress and pick the highest rated plugin if it has all the features I need. By sorting the plugin by highest rated will help you find problem free addons. The higher the rating the less you have to worry about running into problems with them. To research a plugin Google is a great way to find any problem plugins. All you need to do is simply type the plugin name and then one of the follow catch words. Catch words I found very useful when searching are “plugin name help”, “plugin name problems”,” plugin name help now” and ect.. A little research will save you a few headaches.

The plugin I ended up using for polls is called Wp-Polls by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan. Here is a brief description and some screen shots of the plugin taken from Lester’s website.

Adds an AJAX poll system to your WordPress blog. You can easily include a poll into your WordPress’s blog post/page. WP-Polls is extremely customizable via templates and css styles and there are tons of options for you to choose to ensure that WP-Polls runs the way you wanted.
