Last time I tried out BB Polls and it didnt work. Users said it were made for an older version of bbpress. Is there any poll-plugin that works for BBPress v1.02?

My forum is growing, and I really feel the need to have polls now.

Have you tried Polldaddy for bbPress?

https://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/polldaddy-for-bbpress/

It says compatible up to 1.0-alpha-2 but maybe it will work? If not, maybe you can find someone to fix it for you.

If you’re looking for support for a lot of bbPress plugins, your best best is usually to stay on the 0.9 branch. 1.0 won’t have a lot of plugins supported for months, if at all…

Downgrading is not an option.

Then write something yourself or pay someone else to, always a solution if you need something done fast in a volunteer community

I’m using BB polls in 1.0.2 and works fine 🙄

Downgrading is not an option.

If I could use signatures here, that would be my new one.

Haha mwaterous.

Still need a poll people!

If you want broad plugin support, there are only three options that I’m aware of.

* Identify which plugins you’d like, and update them to work with v 1.0+ (either try to fix it yourself, or pay the plugin developer to fix it, or maybe hire someone else).

* Wait 3-6 months, and hope the plugin developers update their plugins as 1.0 gets more users.

* Downgrade to 0.9

So what’s the best poll solution right now?

thanks.

I tried BB Polls just now and it DID work for me but it’s a weak poll solution.

Is there a fix for the polldaddy plugin, possibly?

OKTeaRoom – Ah I’m using bbPress Polls on a number of my installs, and it works great! What features are missing for you, just out of curiosity…

[OKTeaRoom]

Err…embarrassing I just installed a bunch of other _ck_ plugs that didn’t have any setup in the dashboard and were more plug and play so I assumed that this one was, too. It’s actually quite DEEP.

Thanks for making me look again johhiler

[johnhiler]

Ah ok… yah I’ve had a great experience with the plugin! It scales nicely well too…

In my bbpress the polls plugin work only for Administrator.

I set “participate” in who can add polls but nothing showing when I login as Normal User.

What can I do ?

[Andrea Pernici]

The problem was related to the Role Manager Plugin that don’t add participate field in the new created roles. Solved.
