TotalPoll Pro – Advanced WordPress Poll and Voting Plugin

TotalPoll Pro is a flexible WordPress poll and voting plugin designed for creating interactive polls, opinion surveys, quizzes, voting contests and audience-engagement campaigns.

Its visual poll-building interface allows website owners to add questions, choices, custom voter fields and result settings without manually coding a complete voting system. Polls can be inserted into posts, pages, page builders, widgets and other supported WordPress areas.

Visual Poll Builder

TotalPoll provides a streamlined WordPress interface for creating questions and adding answer choices.

A standard poll can contain:

• One or more questions
• Text-based choices
• Multiple selectable answers
• Custom voter-information fields
• Welcome content
• Voting instructions
• Custom thank-you messages
• Results and vote-count displays

The poll editor also provides integration options such as shortcodes, widgets, direct links, email voting and supported API workflows.

Text, Image, Video and Audio Polls

TotalPoll can create different poll experiences according to the type of content being presented.

Text Polls

Create simple opinion questions with text-based answer options. This format is suitable for quick feedback, audience preferences and general website engagement.

Image Polls

Use pictures as voting choices for competitions, product comparisons, design selections, photography contests and visual preference polls.

Video Polls

Present video-based options when running performance contests, trailer comparisons, educational voting activities or multimedia campaigns.

Audio Polls

Audio choices can use uploaded files or supported services such as SoundCloud. Labels and thumbnails can be added so voters can identify each option before listening and voting.

Create Quiz-Style Polls

TotalPoll can also be configured as a basic quiz by marking particular choices as correct or incorrect.

This can be used for:

• Educational knowledge checks
• Trivia questions
• Staff-training activities
• Classroom exercises
• Product-knowledge tests
• Entertainment quizzes
• Audience competitions

TotalPoll is primarily a polling and voting system. Websites requiring advanced grading, certificates, detailed student reports or complete examinations may need a dedicated quiz or LMS plugin.

Voting Limitations

TotalPoll includes detailed controls for deciding who may vote and when voting is available.

Start and End Dates

Set a specific opening and closing date for a poll. Votes are accepted only during the configured period.

Membership Restrictions

Restrict voting to logged-in visitors or selected WordPress user roles.

Vote Quota

Set a maximum total number of accepted votes. The poll can stop accepting submissions after that quota is reached.

Region or Network Restrictions

Allow or deny voting according to specified IP ranges. IP-based regional controls can be useful, but they are not completely reliable because visitors may use VPNs or shared networks.

Voting-Frequency Controls

Administrators can control how many times a visitor may vote within a particular period.

Available identification layers include:

• Browser cookies
• IP address
• Authenticated WordPress user

These controls can be configured for permanent restrictions or selected time periods. They reduce repeated submissions but cannot guarantee complete protection against every voting-manipulation technique.

reCAPTCHA Protection

TotalPoll supports Google reCAPTCHA to help detect automated submissions and reduce bot-generated votes.

reCAPTCHA requires separate configuration and suitable Google credentials. No CAPTCHA or restriction method can guarantee that every fraudulent or coordinated human vote will be blocked.

Custom Voter Fields

Add custom fields below poll questions to collect additional information from voters.

Supported field types include:

• Text fields
• Multi-line text areas
• Dropdown selections
• Checkboxes
• Radio-button choices

These fields can be used to collect details such as a voter’s name, email, department, age group or customer category. Validation rules can help ensure that submitted information follows the required format.

Collect only the information genuinely required and clearly explain how personal data will be used in your privacy policy.

Email-Confirmed Voting

The optional Vote Confirmation extension can require voters to confirm their email addresses before their votes are counted.

It can also restrict the same email address from confirming more than one vote. Confirmation messages are sent through WordPress’s wp_mail system, so reliable delivery may require an authenticated SMTP configuration.

This extension is documented for qualifying Pro and Business subscriptions and should only be advertised as included when it is supplied in your Genius WP package.

Choice and Result Sorting

Administrators can control how voting choices and final results are displayed.

Sorting options can include:

• Manually configured position
• Number of votes
• Alphabetical label
• Random ordering

Randomizing choices can reduce first-option bias, while sorting results by vote count can make the leading options easier to understand.

Results-Visibility Controls

TotalPoll provides several ways to manage who can see poll results.

Results may be configured to:

• Display to every visitor
• Display only after voting
• Remain hidden
• Appear after the poll closes
• Appear after the vote quota is reached

These settings are useful when early results could influence later participants.

Welcome, Voting and Thank-You Content

Custom content can be displayed at different stages of the poll.

Possible placements include:

• Before the voting form
• Above the voting choices
• Below the voting form
• After a vote is submitted
• Above the results
• Below the results

This space can contain instructions, campaign information, privacy notices, disclaimers, calls to action or follow-up messages.

Poll Design Customization

TotalPoll includes visual controls for matching polls with the rest of your website.

You can customize supported settings such as:

• Primary and secondary colours
• Accent colours
• Poll width
• Questions and choices per row
• Typography
• Voting bars
• Buttons
• Transitions
• One-click voting behaviour
• Individual poll elements
• Custom CSS

The plugin also supports its own template system, and individual templates can provide additional design settings.

Responsive Poll Layouts

TotalPoll is designed to present polls across desktop computers, tablets and mobile devices.

Custom templates, long answer labels, embedded videos and third-party styles should still be tested on different screen sizes before a poll is published.

Poll Embedding Options

TotalPoll provides several ways to publish and distribute polls.

Shortcodes

Insert a complete poll or its results into supported posts, pages and page builders. The documentation specifically identifies compatibility with locations that process WordPress shortcodes, including Elementor and Divi content areas.

Widgets

Display polls inside supported WordPress widget areas.

Direct Links

Share a dedicated permalink that opens a particular poll.

iframe Embedding

Use supported iframe integration to display a poll in another compatible webpage.

Email Voting

Create choice links that allow recipients to initiate a vote directly from an email. After clicking, the final result or thank-you screen opens in the browser.

Social Sharing

Social-sharing controls can place supported sharing options beneath a poll, helping visitors share the campaign through networks such as Facebook and X/Twitter.

Platform availability and sharing behaviour can change when social networks update their APIs or policies.

WooCommerce Post-Purchase Polls

The optional WooCommerce integration can present polls after an order, helping businesses collect feedback about the customer’s buying experience.

Post-purchase polls may ask questions about:

• Checkout experience
• Product selection
• Delivery expectations
• Website usability
• Customer satisfaction
• Reasons for purchasing
• Future product preferences

The WooCommerce integration is an extension and must be included and activated separately.

Optional Addons and Extensions

TotalPoll offers additional functionality through separately managed extensions.

Documented addon categories include:

• WooCommerce Integration
• Live Polling
• Email Capture
• Vote Confirmation
• Google Analytics integration
• REST API access
• Templates and design packs
• Other extensions offered through TotalSuite

The Email Capture extension can synchronize captured addresses with supported services such as Mailchimp, while the REST API extension can retrieve poll information and cast votes through authorized HTTP requests.

Only list an addon as included when its files and required access are genuinely supplied with your Genius WP package.

Google Analytics Integration

The optional Google Analytics extension can connect poll-related activity with a configured Google Analytics or Google Tag Manager implementation.

Google Analytics and Tag Manager accounts, consent requirements and tracking configuration are separate from TotalPoll.
