About this Plugin

WP-Polls adds a poll to your site: a question, its answers, and a result bar that replaces the voting form once a visitor has voted, without a page reload. A poll can go in a post with a shortcode or a block, in a sidebar with the widget, or anywhere in your theme with a template tag.

Static WordPress Challenge

The poll question and form can be exported, but voting, vote validation, and post-vote result updates require a live WordPress endpoint. Use Static Studio or configure an equivalent AJAX/REST proxy; without one, the poll will not function interactively.
