Is the LEB Poll Working for you?

jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran
in General

Hi Everyone,

I installed a plugin (YOP Polls) for LEB so that I could post stuff like this: https://lowendbox.com/blog/poll-what-do-you-use-your-vps-for/

Is the Poll working for you?

Seems like it might have a bug with registering votes.

    Still doing the same thing. I tried clearing cache etc too so can’t be a caching issue.

    Your using an iphone?

    I think CloudFlare caching might be buggering something up. I just disabled that.

    Would you mind trying one more time in about 5 minutes?

    WP-Polls seems better

    I am at the minute, yeah. Just tried again and doing the same thing. Will try again later and let you know :)

    I had tried that and it was broken completely :S

    I can give it another look though.

    I did confirm, I think, that CF Caching was causing the one issue with votes not showing properly. That's not the issue @hostworld is having though.

    Not working here, just hangs on a grey box overlay when clicking vote.

    I think I may have found the bug causing that issue. Can you try again now after doing a hard refresh?

    Cloudflare is blocking the request to admin-ajax.php so users can't vote.

    This is it!

    Yeah same, I think admin-ajax is blocked by Cloudflare.
    And also just a suggestion, if you use this poll for Market Research I think "Hobby Use" options are too broad because everyone's hobby is different.

    Any suggestion on how I can fix this?

    Thanks for the suggestion!

    It's relatively informal. Mostly doing this to increase user engagement.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    Found it, looks like it should be fixed. :)

    Yep, it was Cloudflare blocking ajax. I wouldn't have figured this out so easily had it not been for the help of @entrailz and @mailcheap :)

    Once the Poll is closed I am going to write up a thread about the results.

    We've got a number of additional polls scheduled to be posted over the next few months.

    I could always use recommendations on topics and questions. Any suggestions?
