What’s wrong with what I’ve done?
Put in a poll .. preview says I have to put in a “forum post” ..isn’t that what a topic is? I’d love to tweak it before posting.. do I get to do that?
Thanks

what do you mean by tweak it??? when you create and insert the poll, its inserted into the post as a shortcode…. quite standard for inserting elements into posts in wp…
if you want to edit/manage the poll you can from the back end at forum – components – polls…
btw, in your image, you have added three different polls…
No allowed to have three different questions? Maybe that’s why it hiccuped. I’ll try again..
you can put as many questions in a single poll as you like… in the popup poll creation window, there is a button for adding more question inputs…
errr… I mean answers…. not questions…
but yes, you can put as many polls in a single post as you like…
I uploaded and activated the Polls plugin, but I don’t see anywhere in the Add Topics area to post a poll to the topic. Am I missing something obvious (not unusual)?
Did you turn on the option top include polls in the individual forums – and give your users the permission to vote etc?
Probably best to take a quick look at: http://codex.simple-press.com/codex/plugins/our-plugins/available-plugins/plugin-polls/
Yes, I have followed the codex instructions. I checked the “Enable polls on this forum” option in each individual forum setting, then added both “Allow member to vote in polls” and “Allow member to create polls” in my default “Member” permissions.
I still don’t see an Add Poll button when I try to create a new topic.
I checked while signed in as both the Admin and as a standard member, using both FireFox and IE.
It’s early here and I haven’t had enough coffee yet, so I’m thinking it’s something simple.
most curious. Which version of the core Simple:Press is this please? And that image you pasted above… is that when logged in as a forum admin?
It’s not SimplePress, it’s my computer. I cleared my browser’s cache and now the poll button is showing.
Thanks for the help (putting up with me).
