If l wanted/wished to have a poll in a post – how do l achieve this please?
Is it an addon l need to install?
I ask, because when l went online to research it came back with l needed to upgrade further than l am presently which is premium, and it suggests going into business?
Anyone know any answers here, or perhaps a helpful link?
Thanks
Rory
I have never tried it so even I don’t have any idea. But I would love to know about it too.

No answers here. 😣 And upgrades? Hmmmm… Can u post a question and get answers in comments… but then having a poll appears differently and may garner more information and attention. 🧐 Good luck 👍🏼

Thank Jeanne, everything l have read so far supports an upgrade to business just to install the addons that may support polls.
At this present time, l am not willing to upgrade to business plan just to have that feature available to me – unless of course one of the savvy tech head bloggers stops by and suggests an answer.

I believe there is an “Add Poll” option when you write a post, it is placed between the “Add Media” and “Add Contact Form”, although I’ve not used this option before. Let me know if you want me to send you a screenshot.

I don’t have that option in truth, l have just looked …
I have add media, media from Google, Free Photo Library, Contact Form and then just Payment Button.
Are you on Business plan?

Nope, I’m not paying anything for this blog.
Maybe it depends on the themes we choose?

Perhaps so, that certainly adds another element to it though. Thanks will look into that 🙂

I think I know why… are you using the “improved editor” version? The “Add Poll” option is missing there. I use the wp-admin to write my posts and there is the “Add Poll” option.

Yes that will do the trick very nicely, for not just me l feel but a host of other bloggers who too would like to know the secret to the mystery poll 🙂

I’ve always used the wp-admin for my posts, for some reasons, I dislike the “improved editor” layout but looking at the responses from your post, I guess people do use the “improved editor”

If people can’t find the “add poll” option in the “improved editor”, I don’t see how “improved” the “improved editor” is lol

I have a sneaking suspicion, after this, we may be seeing a lot of poll posts lol!

By the way, I’m not tech savvy at all. The only reason I know is because I use the wp-admin version and I use it because the layout is simpler and more down to earth 🙂

Can you revert after you have done that or does it have to stay in that version?

I’ve never done it with the polls but sure, you can revert between the “improved editor” and “wp-admin” version.
