Hate to complain here, but I can’t get this plugin to work 100%.
The polls work great in the side bar, I can view results, but when I try to go to the Poll Archives, I get the following error….
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/wiisite1/public_html/wp-content/themes/alexified/header.php on line 1
my WordPress is installed at the site root, perhaps this is what’s causing the error, in any case I tried changing up the path in the plugin and in my theme header, but no luck. Any tips?
try attaching me your theme index.php and wp-polls.php
Lester, thank you very much for your help, your suggestion did the trick!
In case anyone else sees this….
Open “/wp-content/themes/MYTHEME/header.php” at the very top I had to change …
to …
ABSPATH is defined in /wp-config.php and thus shoud work for all the plugins
OOOPS it did not automatically convert the < and the > tags, so here is what needs to be replaced again …
< ?php require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); ?>
to …
< ?php require(ABSPATH.’/wp-blog-header.php’); ?&g;
Always loved your plugins, but the new polls is difficult to get running …
When I vote, it’s endlessly showing the “Loading” Image and nothing is entered into the database.
Regards, Oliver
I can’t get it to work properly.. I’m using the blix theme
oliver: did u have < ?php wp_head(); ? > in your header.php before < /head > tag?
TheFes: more info pls =D
I’m having some problems with this poll.
It keeps centering the poll in Firefox. In Internet Explorer it looks just fine.
One more problem is the poll arcive. It seems to be a CSS problem, but I really don’t know :/
Hope you can help me out. You can see the problem at http://www.bran.dk
yes
that’s not the reason.
Lars: attached me your wp-polls.php with theme index.php
oliver: is there a site I can see?
yes, http://medinfo.netbib.de
Can i use wp-polls also in an article (posting)?
I got it working in my sidebar without a problem, but i want to use a poll in a weblog article. does this work?
I have the same problem as oliver.
oliver, tommy: I think it is because the site url and wordpress url doesn’t tally.
For example oliver, your site url is
http://medinfo.netbib.de/
But in WordPress you key in
http://netbib.ub.uni-dortmund.de/medinfo
That is why the browser block the xml request because the url is different. It is a secruity feature in browsers to prevent phising if I am not wrong.
Possibly, but I’ve been through every possible url available (because I thought that might be it, it is an addon domain but I’ve no problems anywhere else) and none of them work. The part that confuses me is the same thing happens with the democracy plug in.
I have another solution to the problem and I’ll just use that one instead of asking you to waste your time figuring out why my site doesn’t work.
thanks.
Oops, I cannot change this double-URL thing, so I have to look at another solution (Tommy?). Or can I use an old version of Polls?
It turns out I had a corrupt installation of wordpress and reinstalling that fixed the problem. Oliver, I was going to use dynamic polls (http://www.cj-design.com/), or advanced polls(http://www.proxy2.de/). Both of them can be a bit difficult to install, and advanced polls requires a mysql.
If you can’t get either of them to work, try vizu.
But wp-polls is working now and I’m happy.
thanks for the compliments =D
Thanks, Tommy, for both hints, but “difficult to install” means “impossible for me”, as my php talents are not that great.
I tried Democrazy too, but this double url thing (WordPress address differs from Blog address) seems to hinder such plugins efficiently.
oliver: Yea, u want to try the non ajax version? http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/wp-polls/tags/wp-polls206b.zip
suuuppper! It works!! Thanks a lot …
np man
lester, I’m experiencing the same behaviour as oliver.
Using Firefox, my site has no sub domains or nuttin’
If you have a minute, could you take a look?
http://www.badboysummercamp.com
http://badboysummercamp.com works, because ur wordpress options u set the site url to badboysummercamp.com instead of http://www.badboysummercamp.com
I will try to fix this bug. lol
I turned it off, but when people vote, it came up.
Invalid Poll ID Or Poll Answer ID. Poll ID #2, Poll Answer ID #0.
Care to help on this.
Hi Lester. I tried 2.11 on Andy Peatling’s Durable theme. First the poll won’t render properly. Second, the bullets in all my bulleted-lists disappear. Can you look at it, please?
Sure, it is style problem, maybe u can attached me ur style.css to my email, gamerz84 AT hotmail DOT com
And when WP-Polls Generated XHTML 1.1, or how to do it??
))
? what do u mean by when?
