Title: votes deadline Last modified: December 25, 2024 --- # votes deadline * Resolved [karim06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karim06/) * (@karim06) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/votes-deadline/) * Hi support team, * I’ve found an issue when creating a polls. In fact when I configure it to end for example 1 month later, it shows the information that polls is already closed even if selected date is in the future. * Same when I want to open the polls form in the future it doesn’t work. User can vote even if selected date for opening is in the future. * Thanks for your help.

So the front end will show this as the default message “Voting has not been started yet, check again later” * Kindly refer to this screenshot for a better picture view:- [https://monosnap.com/file/lgA5rmsILRgWY0jPq6M3R7sM8CGTCg](https://monosnap.com/file/lgA5rmsILRgWY0jPq6M3R7sM8CGTCg). * The status button doesn’t connect with “Open from” & “Open Until” If we choose a custom message, it will appear, and the form will start appearing on the given date. * Please let us know if you have any more questions or confusion. We are happy to help. * – Thanks & Kind Regards, Imran Khan * Thread Starter [karim06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karim06/) * (@karim06) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/votes-deadline/#post-18218984) * Hello Imran, * Thanks for your quick reply. In fact I’ve already configured it as described ( FYI it very user friendly), but it doesn’t work. I’ve set starting from now and set the end date on 31/01/2025, but when saved, the result is incorrect as it shows the polls as already closed which of course it is not the case. * Thanks & Regards * Plugin Support [Amin – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support2/) * (@wpmudev-support2) * [1 year, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/votes-deadline/#post-18219669) * Hi [@karim06](https://wordpress.org/support/users/karim06/) * I created a poll and configured it as you described but could not replicate the issue, the pool was showing when I added it to the page, maybe I’m missing something or it is specific to your site. * Could you please first make sure your site shows the correct date and time in wp-admin -> settings -> general and share the pool export with us to investigate further?
