GloboPoll

Description

GloboPoll is a polling service for media, local governments, associations and companies: one vote per person guaranteed in the database, no tracking cookies, interface in six languages (Spanish, English, German, French, Italian and Portuguese), eight kinds of ballot (single and multiple choice, yes/no, rating and NPS, ranking with Borda, instant runoff and Condorcet, points, pairwise comparison and knockout tournaments) and results that update live.

With this plugin you create your polls without leaving WordPress and show them in your pages:

• GloboPoll → Polls in the menu of WordPress: the polls of your account with their state and votes, and a form to create and edit them. Write the question and the options, choose who can vote, and send it for review.
• The “GloboPoll poll” block: it lists the polls of your account and has “Create a new poll”, which opens the same form and leaves the block pointing at the new poll. Pick the theme and the width, and see the preview.
• The shortcode [globopoll slug="my-poll" theme="auto" width="100%"] for the classic editor, Elementor and other page builders. GloboPoll → Polls copies it for you. url="…" works too.
• Paste the URL of a poll on its own line in the editor: WordPress turns it into the poll (oEmbed).

Create and edit polls from WordPress

Single choice, multiple choice (with a minimum and a maximum of options to mark) and yes/no polls are created here: question, description, options with an optional “Other” with a free answer, the language of the poll, who can vote, comments, closing date, when the results are public and whether voters can change their vote. The other kinds (rating and NPS, ranking, points, pairwise comparison, tournaments and questionnaires), the cover and the images of the options live in the editor of GloboPoll: the list links to it (“Edit on GloboPoll”).

GloboPoll reviews every poll before it is published, also the ones created here. Until a poll is approved, visitors see nothing where you placed it and you see a note that it is pending; once approved, the widget shows on its own. If you change the question or the options of a published poll, it is reviewed again.

The widget is free. On every plan, the poll is the GloboPoll widget: visitors vote inside your page and see the count per option. The widget keeps a footer linking to GloboPoll, which cannot be removed.

• The Free plan includes the widget with up to three active polls at a time; the plugin shows how many you have in use (“2 of 3 active polls”). Closed polls keep showing their result where you embedded them.
• The Pro plan lifts that limit and adds priority review, advanced poll types (ranking, points, pairwise comparison, tournaments, questionnaires), polls outside the public catalogue or only on your site, the API, webhooks and teamwork.
• Once the site is connected, the block lists the polls of your account so you can pick one instead of pasting its URL.
• If this site is not authorized for a poll yet, visitors see a card with the question and a “Vote on GloboPoll” button instead of a blank frame, and editors see how to authorize it.

Connect your account in one trip

Settings → GloboPoll → Connect to GloboPoll does the whole setup: you sign in (or create your account, the usual registration), choose the account and accept. GloboPoll creates a dedicated key for this site with limited permissions (read the account, list, create and edit its polls, manage the authorized sites), authorizes this site for the widget, and sends you back. The key travels server to server, never in a URL, and you never need to know which country site your account lives on. “Disconnect” revokes that key. You can still paste a key by hand under “Manual connection”.

Upgrade to Pro from WordPress

On the Free plan the settings screen, the list of polls and the form offer Upgrade to Pro, to lift the limit of three active polls and get the Pro features: it opens the GloboPoll checkout for the connected account (currency and taxes of your country) and brings you back to WordPress; the plan updates within seconds. There is no payment inside WordPress: the plugin never sees your card and limits are set by the GloboPoll service, not by the plugin.

Authorize this site once

The GloboPoll widget only loads on the websites its owner has authorized. Until now that meant typing your domain into every poll. Connecting (or an API key) lets Settings → GloboPoll → Authorize this site register this WordPress once for every poll of your account, present and future.

What the plugin does not do

It does not publish anything on its own (every poll is reviewed by GloboPoll first), it does not store votes or polls in your database (they live in your GloboPoll account) and it does not add any tracking. It does not remove the GloboPoll footer of the widget.

Privacy

Polls are loaded from GloboPoll (*.globopoll.com). Votes, the one-vote-per-person protection and the poll images live there, under GloboPoll’s privacy policy and terms (linked above). The plugin sets no cookies and sends nothing about your visitors to GloboPoll or to anyone else.
