Biggest opportunity: Swap “survey”, “voting” and “vote” for “wordpress poll”, “poll plugin” and “votes”. “survey” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress poll” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “voting” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poll plugin” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “vote” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “votes” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 400 of 46.4K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,772 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “survey”, “voting” and “vote” for “wordpress poll”, “poll plugin” and “votes”. “survey” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wordpress poll” sits at #15 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “voting” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “poll plugin” sits at #16 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “vote” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “votes” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “poll”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

looks nice
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ konrad_ha11.4y ago
I tried to get this to work, but the implementation of it seems amateurish. JavaScript directly included in the post-output throws conflicts with even basic use of WordPress filters, currently rendering the whole plugin unsusable. The extreme limitations of the free version also make it untestable in my use-case. I guess I’ll keep looking for the elusive poll-plugin that works and allow people to send their e-mail-addresses.

I have a client who wants a poll on their site. However it seems there are very few if any fully functional free WordPress plugins that do this. Was hoping this one might work. But after testing it out it seems that it only supports radio buttons in the free poll. This goes behind a lite version.

Got it to display polls…then it doesn’t want to display polls. Wrestled with this for far too long.

Any feedback that may help to improve this new plugin for creating poll will be appreciated. Thank you!
