 * The latest update breaks the visual editor in any blog or page post, this is 
   a major fault, and I have had to disable polls until it is fixed.
    I have emptied
   my Total Cache & Local cache, I have also tried other browsers.

 * Yup, it’s a jQuery conflict, expect a fix in the next Plugin update when Lester
   next sweeps the forums 😉

 * [@godsdead](https://wordpress.org/support/users/godsdead/): In the mean time 
   you can use the previous version [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-polls.2.65.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wp-polls.2.65.zip).
   Till now I have no idea what causes it to break without more helpful information.
 * [@visser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visser/): Do you have more details
   on that? I can not reproduce this problem on my install.

 * [@lester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lester/) Chan, can’t reproduce 
   it after de-activating and re-activing… 😐
 * WP-Polls 2.66 after updating from most recent release
 * From memory it was a jQuery conflict on the TinyMCE button only affecting the
   Add New Post screen, I don’t think it was affecting the Edit Post screen. Dashboard
   and all other Admin pages had no conflicts. Hope this helps you track it down.
   Sorry [@lester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lester/) Chan, I hoped to
   drop the jQuery error here.

 * [@visser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visser/) Labs: do you have the 
   error on the console of chrome? I don’t think it is a conflict because the Add
   Post and Edit Post screen should use the same code. I don’t differentiate them
   at all. And I still can’t reproduce it on my 3 sites that I have access to.
 * I am guessing it might be a plugin conflict or a cache (plugin and browser) issue

 * [@lester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lester/) Chan, no I don’t, it was
   present prior to de-activating on the Add New Post screen but is no longer visible
   within the Chrome Developer Console (I wish there were a history so I could provide
   it). Could have been a caching issue (managed by CloudFlare here), hard refreshing
   the browser cache did not help but de-activating/re-activating did. Here’s my
   Plugin list incase it assists. Cheers.

 * [@visser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visser/) Labs: Thanks! That means
   you are using WP-Polls 2.66 and it works fine after re-activating it?

 * [@lester](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lester/) Chan: as weird as it sounds,
   yup. De-activate, re-activate, no more jQuery console error and TinyMCE loads
   with all TinyMCE addons (including WP-Polls).

 * [@visser](https://wordpress.org/support/users/visser/) Labs: Thanks for the information,
   really appreciate that! I wish more people are like you that gives more information
   rather than just “it breaks”. Is like telling your car mechanic that your car
   doesn’t move.

 * Is the console output form firefox, I was going to edit my post but got distracted!
   
   Im using a very old theme that is outdated, Im planning a re-design in the next
   few months, So im not sure if that could be the conflict?

 * Based on the error you posted. I am 100% sure that your browser is still caching
   the javascript file or there is a problem with the update.
 * I would suggest downloading [https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-polls/archive/master.zip](https://github.com/lesterchan/wp-polls/archive/master.zip)
   and replace all the files in your /wp-polls/ folder

   console output above is the exact error I got.

 * I ran into the same issue as godsdead and Visser Labs. Clearing the cache resolved
   the issue for me.

 * Resolved ONLY after disabling, emptying the browser cache (Firefox 29.0.1) AND
   performing a cache purge at Cloudflare – before enabling the plugin again. If
   you’re using CDN services you will most likely need to purge cached data there
   too.

 * [@acroplex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acroplex/): Thanks for the info,
   I will increase the JS version to burst the cache if I have ever had to do it
   again. I totally overlooked at because I thought no one uses a CDN to cache backend
   JS
