Why won't my poll appear in my post?
-
I’ve been posting articles recently encouraging folks to vote on their favorite moments from our 2015 baseball season. The first two have been up for a week and working perfectly, but now the polls aren’t appearing in the posts, despite the link of the poll being embedded in the post in the same way. I run the polls through Polldaddy which is linked up through my WordPress account.
Can anybody help?
Thank you.

Have you used this guide?
https://en.support.wordpress.com/polls/Have you consulted the troubleshooting section?
Why aren’t my polls showing up?
Each poll can only be displayed once on a post. So, if you have a poll in a post and in the sidebar, only the first instance of the poll will show. You can show 2 or more different polls on one post, however.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/polls/#troubleshootingWhat are the URLs of the posts that polls are not appearing in please?

Yes, I have. It’s strange because I posted the polls and they worked perfectly the first 5-7 days. I didn’t change anything at all and now the polls don’t appear. It makes me think that PollDaddy could possibly be down.

If it is any consolation, my polls are not showing up as well. I’ve been using PollDaddy for some time now without any problems. I have checked some of my old blog issues with the embedded poll that appeared before with no result presently.

Thanks for that. Odd that PollDaddy doesn’t seem to be working. I submitted a comment to PollDaddy that hasn’t been responded to yet. I’ll most likely need to use a new poll service in the interim to include in the posts.

I am having the same issue. I have a test site where I used PollDaddy to trial before implementing on my WordPress site. Polls were working for the last week and now they have disappeared.

My poll isn’t showing either, and the code for it in my post seems to have changed to a shortlink. It just displays the PollDaddy poll no#.
-
I have tagged this thread for Staff help. Know that there is a backlog and you will need to be patient while waiting for them to respond.

My poll is back up, it looks a little different, so it seems to have been an update by PollDaddy.

Thanks to one and all for reporting the problem. My polls are up and running once again. “The Fat Bastard Gazette”@WordPress.com

Hi there! Thank you all for the reports.
Our developers fixed this issue yesterday. Please let us know if you have any other trouble with your polls.

There was no issue to fix. How about a bit of advanced notice next time you do updates to your software? It sucks that you would pretend something was broken. (Like she’s ever gonna’ read this.)
