- If you ARE using nice permalinks, after typing the title, WordPress will generate the permalink to the page. You will see an 'Edit' link just beside the permalink.

pollsarchivein the text field and click 'Save'. - Type
[page_polls]in the post's content area. - Click 'Publish'.

- It is because of rounding issues. To make it always round up to 100%, the last poll's answer will get the remainding percentage added to it. To enable this feature, add this to your theme's functions.php:
add_filter( 'wp_polls_round_percentage', '__return_true' );
- WP-Polls will load
polls-css.cssfrom your theme's directory if it exists. - If it doesn't exists, it will just load the default
polls-css.cssthat comes with WP-Polls. - This will allow you to upgrade WP-Polls without worrying about overwriting your polls styles that you have created.
- To solve this issue, Open poll-css.css
- Find:
/* background-color: #ffffff; */ - Replace:
background-color: #ffffff;(where #ffffff should be your background color for the poll.)
