<p>YOP Poll is back — completely rebuilt from the ground up.</p>
<p>After more than a decade of powering polls on WordPress sites, YOP Poll has been rewritten from scratch using modern web technologies. The result is a faster, more secure, and dramatically easier-to-use plugin — without losing any of the flexibility that made YOP Poll the go-to polling solution for WordPress.</p>
<p><strong>Faster, end to end.</strong> The new admin interface responds instantly to your actions. Creating a poll, editing answers, switching templates, viewing results — everything happens in real time, with no full-page reloads slowing you down.</p>
<p><strong>More secure by design.</strong> Internal data handling has been modernized to follow current security best practices.</p>
<p><strong>Easier for everyone.</strong> The admin has been redesigned around how people actually build polls. Clear flows, sensible defaults, and fewer clicks to go from idea to published poll — whether you’re running a single quick poll or managing dozens of campaigns at once.</p>
<p><strong>Safe to upgrade.</strong> All your existing polls, votes, templates, and settings migrate automatically. Nothing to export, nothing to rebuild — just install the new version and pick up where you left off.</p>
<h4>Everything you can do with YOP Poll</h4>
<ul>
<li>Run unlimited polls at the same time, with no artificial limits</li>
<li>Schedule polls to start and end automatically — perfect for time-bound campaigns</li>
<li>Choose between single-choice and multiple-choice questions</li>
<li>Allow voters to add their own “Other” answers</li>
<li>Sort answers in any order — exact, alphabetical, by votes, ascending, or descending</li>
<li>Display results before voting, after voting, on a custom date, after the poll ends, or never</li>
<li>Show results as numbers, percentages, or both</li>
<li>Collect extra information from voters with custom fields (name, email, age, anything you need)</li>
<li>Set who can vote: guests, registered users, or both</li>
<li>Block voters by cookie, IP, or username</li>
<li>Display polls anywhere with shortcodes, widgets, or by poll ID</li>
<li>Show a random active poll, the latest poll, or any specific poll</li>
<li>Browse a full archive of past polls with statistics</li>
<li>View detailed logs of every vote, with sorting, search, and export</li>
<li>Manage bans by email, username, or IP — globally or per poll</li>
<li>Built-in protection against spam votes, including Cloudflare Turnstile support</li>
</ul>


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.
