Forms » Surveys, Polls, and Quizzes

Surveys, polls, and quizzes are a great way to enhance your site with interactive elements. WordPress.com is integrated with Crowdsignal so adding them to your site is very easy. Here is an example using the Poll block:

Create a Poll with the Poll Block

Directly add and customize a Crowdsignal-powered poll to your site’s content using the Poll block.

1. Create a post or page in the WordPress editor.
2. Click the ( + ) sign, or initiate the block search by typing / and search for “poll.”

Once the Poll block is added, you can add a title, a note (for example, a description or a prompt), and potential answers as well as customize the display settings for the poll. If you have a plugin-enabled site, activate this plugin to use the Poll block.

Troubleshooting

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.

What happens if I hit Crowdsignal’s free plan limit of 2,500 signals?
All your polls, surveys, quizzes or ratings will continue to work, but will not display new submissions in the results. Crowdsignal will still collect all your responses and when you upgrade to a paid plan they will be shown in the reports.
