About the plugin
Poll Collector is for running polls on your website.
Each poll is associated with a single post or page. They can be used with custom post types, too (since custom post types are just posts). Only one poll can be associated with each post.
Poll data is stored as post meta data using update_post_meta(). Each answer has a database record with the total count of votes. For example, if you’re poll has two answers, “yes” and “no”, the post meta data would have two records:
poll-answer-yes = 10
post-answer-no = 5<pre><code></code></pre>
Shortcode options
The shortcode is based off of [poll_collector]
