About this plugin
YOP Poll is back — completely rebuilt from the ground up.
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.
Faster, end to end. 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.
More secure by design. Internal data handling has been modernized to follow current security best practices.
Easier for everyone. 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.
Safe to upgrade. 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.

Questions
- How do I create a poll?
Go to YOP Poll → Add New in your WordPress admin. Fill in the question and answers, choose your start and end dates, and adjust the settings for results, vote permissions, and display however you like. Click Save and your poll is ready to use.
- How do I add a poll to a page or post?
Every poll has a shortcode you can copy and paste anywhere on your site — pages, posts, widgets, or template files. You’ll find the shortcode for each poll on the All Polls page, in the dedicated shortcode column.
- Are there shortcuts for displaying polls?
Yes. You can use these built-in shortcodes anywhere on your site:
[yop_poll id="-1"]— displays the current active poll[yop_poll id="-2"]— displays the most recent poll[yop_poll id="-3"]— displays a random active poll[yop_poll_archive max=0 sort="date_added|num_votes" sortdir="asc|desc"]— displays a full archive of polls
- Can I run more than one poll at the same time?
Yes. YOP Poll has no limit on the number of polls you can run simultaneously. You can also schedule polls to start and end on specific dates, so you can queue up campaigns to run one after another.
- Can I collect extra information from voters?
Yes. When creating or editing a poll, add Custom Field elements to ask voters for things like name, email, age, or anything else you need. You can export this data from the votes page later.
- How do I see the results of a poll?
On the All Polls page, each poll has a View Results option that shows the full results — vote counts, percentages, and any custom field responses collected from voters.
The Logs option is separate: it records every voting attempt on your site (successful or not), which is useful for auditing, troubleshooting, or investigating suspicious activity. It’s not where you go to see poll results.
- How do I show results only after the poll ends?
Edit the poll, find the View Results setting, choose After Poll End Date, and save. Voters will see only the question until the poll closes.
- Can I have more than one question per poll?
No — each poll has a single question. If you need multiple questions, create a separate poll for each one.
