 * Hello,
    just installed WP-polls on my site and it doesn’t seem to work. After
   trying to create a first poll I get the following message on top :
 * Error In Adding Poll ‘Test’.
 * Error In Adding Poll’s Answer ‘yes’.
 * Error In Adding Poll’s Answer ‘no’.

 * Found the problem. Plugin didn’t create table for wp-polls.
 * Have to run query manually in phpmyadmin:
 * —
    — Table structure for table `wp_pollsa` —
 * CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_pollsa` (
    `polla_aid` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,`
   polla_qid` int(10) NOT NULL default ‘0’, `polla_answers` varchar(200) character
   set latin1 NOT NULL default ”, `polla_votes` int(10) NOT NULL default ‘0’, PRIMARY
   KEY (`polla_aid`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
 * — ——————————————————–
 * —
    — Table structure for table `wp_pollsip` —
 * CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `wp_pollsip` (
    `pollip_id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,`

   varchar(10) character set latin1 NOT NULL default ”, `pollip_ip` varchar(100)

 * Hi,
 * I’ve got the same problem : Error In Adding Poll
    I noticed because de default
   poll was not created. I do not use WP Multisite nor I have used it in the past,
   at least I dont remember doing so.
 * The weird thing is that I have the problem on just one instance of WP3.6 here:
   
   [http://www.flagworld.com/news/](http://www.flagworld.com/news/)
 * I’ve installed and configured 4 other wordpress today;
    [http://www.flagworld.com/roadtests/](http://www.flagworld.com/roadtests/)(
   Works fine) [http://www.flagworld.com/nouvelles/](http://www.flagworld.com/nouvelles/)
   [http://www.flagworld.com/bruitsdepaddock/](http://www.flagworld.com/bruitsdepaddock/)
   [http://www.flagworld.com/karting/](http://www.flagworld.com/karting/) The last
   three work fine, even with some minor tweaking to translate to French.
 * So far I’ve tried completely deleting and re-installing a few times, it just 
   does not work

 * Could you check whether wp_pollsa, wp_pollsq and wp_pollsip tables are created?
   It seems those table are not created when the plugin is being activated

   help.

 * I seem to have the same problem working on localhost.
    The tables are created
   but i’m using a different prefix. Could that be a problem for wp-polls ?
 * And what about the multisite support ?
    Is it already working ?
 * Thanks

 * @ Florisschimandl: sorry there is no MS support and hence you can’t do a network
   activate.

 * Maybe database user don’t have permissions to create tables.
