You have to decide which forums you want polls to be available for so visit the forum admin > manage groups and Forums – select the forum you want to have polls and click edit forum – then turn the option on within the edit forum form.

For a specific forum polls and ranking are turned on

Polls menu shows options Manage and Options

Manage shows 0 polls – how do I create a new poll for the forum indicating available?

You can create a new poll when you create a forum topic (or post iof you have the options set up that way). Under the editor will be a ‘polls’ button.

Thanks for your help but I see no Polls button when i create a new forum. Just to be sure, options indicate poll are permitted yet when I go the create new Forum there is no means to create a poll at that time

Could this be a permission issue? I am doing all this as ADMIN

What editor is required? I installed the Polls plug-in – does it require a specific editor to create polls/questions?

Let’s recap.
You turn on a forums ability to host a poll in the Manage Forums/edit forum form from the admin.
You create a poll in that forum when you add a new TOPIC. (Or POST in an existing topic if you have allowed for this). this is in the front/public facing side of the site.
You can not create a poll in the create new forum admin panel.

Ok – understand now where it should display

now – post topic shows null javascript so I cannot create topic as ADMIN

will try to correct that so I can post topic and hopefully poll at that time

I don’t understand. If you have a problem can you describe it please. ‘Null Javascript’?

Hi

Currently nothing I can do to post topic. When I hover/click over either button I see no link displayed – do observe

javascript:void(null) and no action if I click either button. This all observed as WP ADMIN

You most probably have a JavaScript conflict – your wp theme or another plugin – which needs to be fixed. This codex article explains what this means and what to look for:

http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/faq/troubleshooting/what-is-this-jquery-conflict/

It is usually easy to fix up once tracked down… if that is the problem of course.

i swapped out my theme and replaced with another and the issue is resolved.

How do I fix my desired theme – hate to trow away the investment as I want to keep SP

As I said it is usually pretty simple to fix. Usually!

You need to locate in the theme code where jQuery is being loaded and how it is being loaded. AND the jQuery UI core. The most common place for a simple theme would be in the themes ‘functions.php’ file but there may be some sort of extra php code file that starts things up – we have seen that before.

Look for code that uses the WP function ‘wp_deregister_script’, ‘wp-registrer_script’ and ‘wp_enqueue-script’ and when you find it copy and paste the lines of code and say 2 or 3 lines either side to a post here and we can help out.

I could not find the suggested code anywhere in theme source code (loaded to Windows 7 and then search)

I see a functions.php in the sahifa root and then a child folder functions  with various phps and then a js folder.

Anyway to upload these files to you fr review?

You could zip it up and send it to me (support at simple-press dot com). I may have a little time later today and could take a look at it.

Thanks – sent you email with attachment – look for sender rsmasten@yahoo.com
