bbPress & WordPress User Defined Polls Plugin

Tuesday, 18th February 2014

The bbPress & WordPress User Defined Polls Plugin creates beautifully simple way for users to define their own polls for your bbPress forum postings and WordPress posts.

The screenshots below show the polls plugin in action. Only logged-in users can vote.

Before a user has voted only the poll options are presented

To create a poll in your bbPress topic or WordPress post just enter the shortcode:

[poll question="Your polling query?" options="Comma,separated,options"]

Note that each individual answer should have no more than 20 characters. For example, “20 character option?” is OK, whereas “Twenty character option?” isn’t.

There is a quicktag button in the post text editor toolbar to help create this shortcode markup. Just click the quicktag button to help create your poll. (The second options parameter is optional, omitting it out creates a simple “Yes,No” poll.)

Polls are simply created by inserting a shortcode in to the posting.
