I installed the poll plugin, everything was smooth.
I enabled permissions for all. I tried to post a poll and got this error.

I am not sure what I could be doing wrong.

Thanks!

I need to confer with Steve on this one and he will be gone for a few hours but we will get back to you on it...

(Steve: Is this going to be down to the in_the_loop() check? Will that always apply?)

Steve: Talking about the conditions needed to display the message Elsa is seeing. I.e., why is she getting that message?

guess not connecting the dots on the in the loop question then...   will have to refresh my memory on what causes that error message... are you saying there is an in the loop check?  would be logical...

if so, what is the setting of you in the loop option on forum - integration - page and permalink?  I guess there could be a whacky wp theme displaying the forum outside the loop, but that would be odd..

[Image Can Not Be Found]Thanks, Mr. Papa. Are these the settings you're asking about?

This was the point I was trying to make to Steve. The message is shown if (a) it is not a forum page and/or (b) not within what is called the WP 'loop'. Well - clearly it IS a forum page you showed above so that just leaves the loop question. It is possible - but oddly non-standard - to display a page without using the loop. And we can probably test for that in the first instance.

On the above admin panel is the option to 'Limit forum display to within WP loop'. Could you briefly turn that option on and save the panel and then go and see if the forum disappears when you reload it? (either way - change the option back of course!)

When I clicked "limit..." - this was the effect on the display.

 

Thanks.
