<a href="http://www.micropoll.com" title="MicroPoll" rel="nofollow ugc">MicroPoll</a> is a service that allows you to gather customer responses to polls on your website.
Normally, JavaScript code has to be inserted on each page where you want micropoll to be used. That approach requires editing of templates and including conditionals based on post ID.
This plugin makes it easy to incorporate the MicroPoll service in your WordPress blog without editing templates by providing a MicroPoll widget that can be used in any widget-ready theme.
Once you have installed MicroPoll, navigate to the configuration page and paste in your poll embed code from the <a href="http://www.micropoll.com/" title="plugin_name" rel="nofollow ugc">MicroPoll web site</a>.

YOP Poll


The free version of this plugin is way too limited! I understand that everybody wants to make money but to find out if a plugin will meet my needs I need a little bit more to work with. That's besideds the fact that the user interface to setup a poll is very confusing.



Lastly, when you uninstall the plugin it asks if you want to remove the plugin and all its data. Unfortunately it leaves the database cluttered with 9 wp_yoppoll_*database tables. That's not what I understand under "remove all its data"!


Too limited and does not remove all data on uninstall


I chose the pro version to have more features and I needed assistance for a problem on my server, I compliment you for the availability and precision of the assistance and having solved the problem with me as soon as I called. Great job and congratulations.


Great plugin, simple and effective

Use a full option polling solution to get the answers you need. YOP Poll is the perfect, easy to use poll plugin for your WordPress site.
