WP-Polls Plugin Upgrade Needed with WP 2.5+
I was having a tough time trying to install and make the WP-Polls plugin work on a new blog this past weekend, when it finally dawned on me…
The version of the WP-Polls plugin that works with Wordpress 2.3.3 wasn’t compatible with Wordpress 2.5.1.
Fortunately, the developer of WP-Polls, Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan, recognized the issue and rewrote the software to work with WP 2.5. The latest version available for download is WP-Polls 2.30.
If you’re still running Wordpress 2.3 or earlier, the older versions of WP-Polls are still available for download on Lester’s site.
Many thanks to BlogClassroom member Sharon, for reminding me to remind you about the need to upgrade your WP-Polls plugins!
About WP-Polls: Developed by Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan, WP-Polls lets you put an AJAX poll system on your WordPress blog. The polling software now lets visitors select more than one answer (if you allow that option) and there are ton of other options from which to choose including poll answer and result sorting, who is allowed to vote (registered users or anyone) and a wide variety of poll display options.

Ros, you used to use Semiologic, didn’t you? This is the new Revolution WP theme you’re now using.
Is the changeover easy to do?
I Like the look of Revolution too, but I’m concerned about changing from Semiologic that I may break my blog. Different tables in the database and all that.

John
Hello John,
Actually, no, although it looks great, I didn’t use Semiologic… not the theme or the plugins.
You might try contacting Brian Gardner and ask him what he thinks about switching.
Cheers,
Ros
