How do I add a poll to a page?

Create a poll, then copy its shortcode (e.g. [cuysdigital_poll id="123"]) from the All Polls screen and paste it into any page, post, or text widget.

How many answers can a poll have?

Between 2 and 8 answers.

Does CuysDigital Pollcraft store personal data?

No. CuysDigital Pollcraft does not store IP addresses or any personally identifiable information. A single browser cookie is used to remember that a visitor has voted.

Can visitors vote more than once?

By default, a browser cookie prevents repeat voting. Clearing cookies or using a different browser would allow another vote, which is standard behavior for lightweight polls.

How do I change the poll colors?

Go to CuysDigital Pollcraft > Settings to set the background, heading, text, and accent colors. These apply to all polls on your site.

How do I remove test votes?

Go to CuysDigital Pollcraft > Poll Results, select your poll, edit the vote counts, and save.
