Polls visible in category list

    I am trying to find a polling plugin for the following task. I want to be able to create multiple posts, each containing it’s own poll as a shortcode, [poll id=”1″], and so on. The posts will belong to a category called “polls”. Upon clicking on that category from the navigation menu I would like to show the posts and also show the polls contents at same time without clicking on the individual post to reveal the contents of the poll. Is it possible with WP-Polls?

    Thank you.

    Yes it is possible as long as your post content shows [poll id=”1″], it will be replaced with the poll. You may need to write your own snippet to snip off the post content and not the excerpt.

    I don’t want to snip off any of the post contents in the category view including the text, photo and the poll. With the shortcode in place the poll showed fine in the individual post view but was completely stripped off/ignored in the category view. But to be fare, this is not just your plugin. It seems like all other shortcodes are ignored in the category view and I am not sure if this can be changed. Because it doesn’t work as expected, I had to disable WP-Polls for now.

    Do you have a demo website to see it working properly?

    Not too sure whether I get what you mean, but category view for the default theme is http://lesterchan.net/wordpress_dev/category/uncategorized/

    Lester: that was my skin setting, I had excerpt instead of full content.

    Thank you very much for your help!!!
