This week’s rollout is one of our heaviest yet. Both versions of Commandify received significant new capabilities, and Pollify shipped important privacy and accessibility updates.
If you work on WordPress sites daily, these changes should give you more control and shave minutes off repetitive tasks.
Commandify Pro and Free: A Closer Look at What Shipped
We pushed two releases for Commandify back-to-back v1.0.1 (Dec 1) and v1.0.2 (Dec 2). Together they introduce long-awaited integrations, faster search, and a more consistent command experience across the dashboard.
Elementor integration arrives
Elementor has always been one of the top feature requests from our users. This release introduces a complete first version of that integration. It gives you template search, template actions (export, duplicate, copy, rename), “Edit with Elementor” for posts and pages, and quick access to actions like regenerate CSS, sync library, and clear cache.
We built this with the goal of making it more usable and flexible than similar command palettes offered by competitors such as CommandUI. It’s available in both Free and Pro, with deeper template actions unlocked for Pro users.
User switching added to Pro
User Switching is now built directly into Commandify Pro.
You can switch to any user, browse the last 20 accounts you interacted with, and switch back when you’re done. The palette shows your active switch session in “User Switch Status,” and all URLs work cleanly across multisite setups.
This is one of the most useful additions for support teams, agencies, and developers replicating user-level issues.
Speed improvements across search
We introduced instant static results for common search queries, static result preloading, and a new dynamic action handler that makes command execution more predictable. Redirect URLs now decode HTML entities properly, improving REST-driven actions.
Commandify also now includes multiple new filters for developer customization including:
commandify_search_user_actions
commandify_search_{post_type}_actions
commandify_search_post_type_args
A new COMMANDIFY_DEV_MODE constant gives local developers a cleaner way to test Pro features.
WooCommerce refinements
Search results are more consistent and now surface recent orders and customers instantly. The internal structure for WooCommerce, Elementor, and User Switching integrations was reorganized for better long-term maintenance.
Fixes and architecture improvements
The release also includes adjustments like:
Fixing ampersand URL issues
Removing duplicate Elementor commands
Correcting “Switch Back” logic
Using proper WordPress capabilities for User Switching
Improved dynamic form evaluation
Updated testing documentation and implementation notes
These updates reflect everything listed in the v1.0.2 changelog and align with the architectural direction documented in our internal references.
Commandify Free: Quality-of-life Additions
Version 1.0.1 of Commandify Free introduced several new commands and a cleaner UI.
New commands
Visit Site: open the frontend instantly from the palette
Instant Log Out: sign out without navigating to the profile page
Post Status Control: change post status directly from command options
UI and behavior improvements
User search now shows proper user icons
Media search displays thumbnails
Default results always show the latest 10 items across posts, users, and media
The palette stays open after maintenance actions like cache clearing or rewrite flush
Debounced API requests help search feel smoother while typing
These updates make the free version more capable for everyday site management.
Pollify Update: Privacy and Accessibility Improvements
Pollify’s latest update introduces anonymous voting, a key request from users who handle GDPR-sensitive projects. You can now offer polls without linking responses to trackable identifiers.
We also added the option to send a poll block to Trash right from the editor. Accessibility labels were refined, and an undefined get_result warning was resolved.
This aligns with our long-term Pollify roadmap described in the knowledge base.
Integrations for Gravity Forms, Fluent Forms, and WPForms
A Bricks Builder integration with navigation and builder-level actions
These are already in testing and scheduled for rollout within the next few days.
BFCM Offer 2025 Still Available
Our Black Friday/Cyber Monday offer is still live.
Commandify Pro starts at $39/year and Pollify Pro starts at $31/year, with both yearly and lifetime plans included in the discount.
If you’re exploring our tools for the first time or planning to upgrade, this is the best time to lock in pricing before the next set of integrations ships.
Stay Connected with wpRigel and The Products We Build
wpRigel started with a simple goal: build lightweight, focused tools that remove friction for creators, marketers, developers, and agencies working inside WordPress every day.
We don’t chase bloated feature lists or heavy interfaces. Instead, we ship products that solve specific problems with clean UX and reliable performance.
Pollify was our first step toward that mission- a block-native poll creator built for the modern Gutenberg editor. No shortcodes, no external dashboards, just a straightforward way to gather feedback and run voting experiences on WordPress sites. Today, Pollify Pro extends that idea with engagement blocks, like/dislike voting, NPS polls, and exportable reports.
Commandify grew from watching users jump across menus to complete basic tasks. Our goal with Commandify is to give WordPress a command palette that feels fast, predictable, and helpful for both beginners and power users. The new integrations reinforce that direction: an interface where everything you need is a few keystrokes away.
We are still a small team, but product quality is our priority. The roadmap for both plugins comes directly from user conversations, agency workflows we observe, and our own experience building WordPress sites for years.
Each release (whether it’s a quality-of-life improvement or a major integration) is meant to reduce the mental overhead of managing multiple plugins, settings, and screens.
As we continue expanding wpRigel’s product lineup, our focus remains the same: build tools that feel natural inside WordPress and give users more control without adding complexity.
When we first introduced you to Pollify, our goal was simple, to bring a powerful, 100% Gutenberg-powered polling experience entirely inside WordPress.
No SaaS accounts, no clunky shortcodes, no “almost matches” in design. Just a seamless, native way to create polls, surveys, and voting forms right where you already work: in the block editor.
Since that initial launch, something amazing has happened.
Hundreds of site owners have been using Pollify to collect feedback, spark conversations, and engage their audiences; from personal blogs to membership sites to online stores.
But we also started hearing the same request over and over:
“Pollify is great for simple polls… but I want more advanced poll types, better analytics, and features I can actually use to grow my business- without switching to a SaaS tool like Crowdsignal.”
Pollify Pro isn’t just “more of the same”- it’s a complete upgrade designed for creators, marketers, and businesses who need richer interactions, deeper insights, and total control over their data… all while keeping everything inside WordPress.
So today, we want to show you exactly what’s new in Pollify Pro and why it’s already becoming the go-to choice for serious WordPress users.
What’s New in Pollify Pro
When we started building Pollify Pro, we knew it had to be more than “just more options”.
It had to give you new ways to interact with your audience, collect actionable data, and actually move the needle on your goals- whether that’s sales, content engagement, or community growth.
Here’s what’s now possible.
Advanced Poll Types- Engagement That Fits Any Scenario
The free version of Pollify already lets you create solid multiple-choice polls with single or multiple votes. That’s great for quick feedback, but in reality, your engagement needs aren’t always the same.
Sometimes you want fast, lightweight reactions.
Sometimes you want deep, open-ended responses.
Sometimes you need data you can act on at a strategic level.
Pollify Pro introduces four advanced poll types that cover all those situations— without having to install separate plugins or pay for SaaS tools.
Here’s what you get the moment you upgrade:
1. Kudos Feedback Voting
Sometimes your audience doesn’t want to fill out a whole survey. They just want to say, “Nice job!” without breaking their flow. The Kudos block (you might also think of it as “applause” or “clap voting”) is the perfect lightweight feedback tool for those moments.
How it works: You place a Kudos block under a blog post, product description, course lesson, or portfolio piece. Visitors can give you a quick thumbs-up in the form of a “clap” — no typing, no long forms.
Kudos/Applause or Clap voting with Pollify Pro
Example: Imagine you’ve just published a deep-dive guide on SEO trends for 2025. At the end, you add:
“Did you find this helpful? Give it a clap!”
Within hours, you’ll know exactly how many readers appreciated it — without having to interpret comment sections or guess from bounce rates.
Core benefits:
Effortless engagement — perfect for audiences that don’t normally leave comments.
Content validation — see which posts or pages your audience values most.
Idea prioritization — double down on topics that get the most claps.
2. Up/Down or Like/Dislike Response Polls
While Kudos voting tells you that people liked something, Up/Down polls tell you how much. Think of it like a quick sentiment check — “Yes, this works” or “No, not for me.”
How it works: You set up a block with a simple Up arrow and Down arrow. Users click one, and you instantly get a read on public opinion.
Use cases:
Content feedback: “Was this tutorial easy to follow?”
Feature testing: “Should we keep this beta feature?”
Product feedback: “Did this month’s update improve your experience?”
Up/Down or Like/Dislike voting with Pollify Pro
Example: If you run a cooking blog, you could add an Up/Down poll under a recipe asking:
“Would you make this dish again?”
Core benefits:
Faster decisions — no need to run long surveys for simple questions.
Spot patterns early — if a post is getting a lot of downvotes, you can act before it tanks engagement.
Highly shareable — people love simple “yes/no” style interactions.
3. NPS Loyalty Scoring
If you’ve ever studied customer retention, you’ve probably heard of Net Promoter Score (NPS). It’s the gold standard for measuring brand loyalty, and now you can run NPS surveys right inside WordPress.
How it works: You ask one question:
“On a scale of 0 to 10, how likely are you to recommend us to a friend or colleague?”
Users select their number, and Pollify Pro automatically groups them into Promoters, Passives, and Detractors.
NPS voting with Pollify Pro
Use cases:
Membership sites: Track member satisfaction over time.
Product launches: Measure loyalty before and after releasing a new feature.
Customer onboarding: See how new users feel after their first 30 days.
Example: A WordPress agency could send an NPS poll to recent clients to find out if they’d refer them to others — turning happy clients into active advocates.
Core benefits:
Predict churn– low scores often mean a customer is at risk of leaving.
Identify promoters– focus on people who will happily spread the word.
Track improvement– see if changes in your product or service boost loyalty.
4. Advanced IP Blocklist
Sometimes you want to keep your polls clean and accurate by blocking certain IP addresses — whether it’s to stop spam voting, exclude internal team members, or prevent repeated manipulations of results.
How it works: Pollify Pro lets you add specific IPs to a blocklist. But here’s the game-changer — you get two options:
Keep historical data for those IPs (so past votes still count for analytics).
Completely remove all past records associated with them for a clean slate.
Use cases:
Internal testing: Block your own team’s IPs so internal votes don’t skew results.
Prevent abuse: Stop competitors or bots from spamming votes.
Geo-specific polls: Block traffic outside your target region.
Core benefits:
Accurate analytics — decisions based on clean, real data.
Flexible control — choose whether past data is retained or deleted.
Better trust in results — no more second-guessing poll integrity.
Bottom line: With these poll types and IP blocker, Pollify Pro lets you handle everything from quick mood checks to strategic decision-making. All without leaving the block editor.
Pro-Level Analytics & Tracking with Pollify Pro: Insights You Can Act On
Collecting votes is one thing. Knowing who voted, where they’re from, and how their preferences change over time is where real business value comes in.
Pollify Pro gives you:
Vote-by-User & Vote-by-Role Tracking: If you have members, students, or tiered customers, you can see how each group votes. This is huge for tailoring content or offers.
Geographic Insights: Discover where your most engaged voters live. Great for planning events, targeting ads, or personalizing content.
CSV Export (Coming soon): Hand your poll results straight to your marketing team, data analysts, or clients.
Trend Analysis: See how opinions shift week over week or month over month.
Crowdsignal can give you some of this — but only in the paid SaaS dashboard. Pollify Pro keeps it all inside your WordPress admin, with no monthly bill.
Design & Branding Freedom – Make It Yours
Your polls should feel like part of your site, not something bolted on. With Pollify Pro, you get:
Extra themes & layout patterns for variety.
Advanced styling controls for buttons, typography, spacing, and borders.
Theme style inheritance so your polls look native from the start.
Crowdsignal often struggles here because it loads from their servers. Pollify Pro renders entirely in WordPress- faster load times and pixel-perfect brand matching.
Marketing & Engagement Features – Turn Polls Into Conversions
Pollify Pro isn’t just for collecting opinions — it’s for driving action.
Email Follow-Up: Send targeted “thank you” messages, special offers, or resources based on answers.
Lead Capture: Ask for an email before showing results to grow your list.
Answer-Based Redirects: Send users to different landing pages depending on their choice.
These features mean every poll can double as a list-building tool, upsell opportunity, or engagement funnel.
Quick Note on What’s Coming Next in Pollify Pro
I’m not stopping here. A couple of features are already in development, and I’m excited about what they’ll unlock for you:
Two New Poll Types: expanding beyond Kudos, NPS, and Up/Down, you’ll soon be able to run VS-style comparison polls (perfect for “this vs that” battles) and Rating polls (stars, emojis, or custom icons).
One-Click Data Exports: need to crunch numbers in Excel or share results with your team? You’ll be able to export all your poll data in CSV format instantly, with full filtering options.
More Layout Patterns & Themes: We’re working on fresh, professionally-designed templates so your polls can look great right out of the box.
If you’re already using Pollify Pro, these updates will drop right into your dashboard as soon as they’re ready — no extra purchase needed.
Pollify Pro vs Crowdsignal: Which One’s Right for You?
I’ve been in the WordPress space long enough to know there’s no shortage of poll and survey tools. But when it comes to Pollify Pro vs Crowdsignal, the differences run deeper than just “self-hosted vs SaaS.”
Both tools can collect votes.
Both can display results.
But the way they do it and what you get for your time and money is a completely different story.
Installation & Setup: Native vs External
Pollify Pro: Install it like any other WordPress plugin, and it’s ready to go inside your Gutenberg editor. No extra accounts, no separate dashboard to log into. Everything- from poll creation to results analysis, happens in your WordPress admin.
Crowdsignal: Even though it has a WordPress plugin, it’s really a front-end for their SaaS platform. You’ll still need a Crowdsignal account, and your polls live on their servers. That means an extra login, a separate UI, and in some cases, less control over your data.
Winner: Pollify Pro — fewer moving parts, faster setup, and no platform lock-in.
Poll Types: Who Gives You More Ways to Engage?
Crowdsignal supports basic multiple-choice, rating scales, and a few custom question types. But if you want things like VS polls, NPS surveys, or open-text feedback without limits, you’ll need to jump to their paid tiers.
Pollify Pro gives you all advanced poll types out of the box:
NPS surveys (1–10 scoring)
Up/Down voting for micro-feedback
Feedback polls with open-text fields
Visual VS polls for side-by-side comparisons and Star or emoji rating polls (coming soon)
And, of course, the free multiple-choice and multi-vote polls already in Pollify Free
Example: Want to run a “Feature A vs Feature B” poll and also collect written reasons for each choice? In Crowdsignal, that’s either impossible without workarounds or requires custom coding. In Pollify Pro, you just add two blocks and you’re done.
Winner: Pollify Pro — more variety, more flexibility, and no nickel-and-diming for extra poll types.
Branding & Design Control
Here’s where the hosted vs self-hosted difference really shows.
Crowdsignal: Your design options depend on their theme library. You can tweak fonts and colors, but because the polls load from their servers, making them fully match your brand is harder. Advanced customization often means custom CSS overrides and those can break if their code changes.
Pollify Pro: Since it renders directly in Gutenberg, it inherits your theme styles automatically. Want to override them? You’ve got full control over colors, typography, button styles, spacing, and borders- all inside the block settings. Plus, Pollify Pro ships with extra themes and patterns so you’re not starting from scratch.
Winner: Pollify Pro — your polls look like they belong on your site from day one.
Data Ownership & Privacy
This one’s simple:
Pollify Pro stores all results in your WordPress database. You control it, you back it up, you delete it when you want. No third parties touching it.
Crowdsignal stores results on their servers. That means GDPR compliance depends partly on them, and exporting all your data isn’t as straightforward.
If your site deals with sensitive audience data or operates in a strict privacy jurisdiction, owning your poll data matters.
Winner: Pollify Pro — complete control, no external dependencies.
Analytics & Reporting
Crowdsignal has a nice SaaS dashboard with charts, but a lot of premium analytics features are paywalled. You get basic vote counts for free, but for trend data, filtering, and CSV export, you’re upgrading.
Pollify Pro bakes these in:
Vote-by-user & vote-by-role
Geographic voting insights
Trend analysis over time
CSV export for offline reporting or BI tool integration
And because it’s native to WordPress, you can cross-reference poll data with your Google Analytics, WooCommerce sales, or membership reports — without having to connect two separate platforms.
Winner: Pollify Pro — pro-grade analytics without the recurring bill.
Pricing & Value
Crowdsignal’s free plan is fine for hobby sites but caps you at 2,500 total lifetime responses — across all polls. That’s not monthly. That’s forever. After that, you pay a recurring fee.
Pollify Pro? No limits on responses, polls, or questions. You pay once per year (or lifetime if you choose), and you can run as many polls as you like — for as many visitors as you can get.
Winner: Pollify Pro — predictable pricing and no response caps.
Speed & Performance
Because Crowdsignal polls load from their servers, there’s always an extra external request. Not a huge deal for some sites, but if you’re chasing Core Web Vitals or trying to keep load times under 2 seconds, it’s another factor to manage.
Pollify Pro loads entirely from your WordPress site, using optimized block assets. No external dependencies, no third-party script delays.
Winner: Pollify Pro — faster loads, better performance scores.
Here’s a clean, quick comparison table you can drop into your article after the detailed comparison section — matches the tone and structure you’ve been using, but makes it easy for readers to scan.

What’s Coming Next in Pollify Pro
We’ve said it before- Pollify Pro is already feature-packed. But I’m nowhere near done. The whole point of building this as a Gutenberg-first plugin is that I can keep pushing what’s possible without asking you to relearn a whole new tool every time.
Here’s what’s on the roadmap:
Conditional Logic for Polls
Soon, you’ll be able to show or hide questions based on previous answers. That means smarter polls where every participant only sees questions relevant to them.
Example: If someone says they’re an existing customer, they’ll see different follow-up questions than a first-time visitor.
Why it matters: You get more accurate data and your visitors spend less time answering irrelevant questions.
Poll Result Sharing
I’m working on a “Share Results” feature that lets visitors post poll outcomes directly to social media — with branded images generated on the fly. Imagine a trend poll going viral because people want to show how they voted. That’s free traffic you can’t buy.
AI-Assisted Poll Creation
This one’s experimental, but I’m excited about it. You’ll be able to describe the kind of poll you want, and Pollify will auto-generate questions, answer choices, and even design– ready for you to tweak. Perfect for site owners who want speed without sacrificing quality.
Integration Hub
Yes, you can already use Pollify with any theme. But soon, I’m adding official integrations with:
LMS plugins like LearnDash & TutorLMS (lesson feedback polls)
Email platforms like FluentCRM & MailPoet (segment subscribers based on answers)
Public Results Pages
You’ll be able to publish a dedicated, SEO-friendly “Poll Results” page with sorting, filters, and charts. Great for transparency and content marketing.
Advanced Anti-Spam & Moderation
Vote verification via email or membership logins, plus AI-powered spam detection for open-text answers. More security, less junk data.
The point is- We’re not building Pollify Pro just for today’s needs. We’re building it to stay ahead of what WordPress site owners will want next year.
How to Get Started with Pollify Pro
If you’ve read this far, you already know Pollify Pro is built for WordPress users who want more control, better performance, and richer engagement tools than any SaaS poll solution can offer.
Publish, watch the results come in, and start using that data to make smarter decisions.
Step 4: Keep Growing with New Features
We release updates regularly — and as a Pro user, you get them all. That means every roadmap feature we mentioned above? You’ll have it the moment it’s ready.
Your audience is talking. Pollify Pro is how you make it easy and engaging for them to tell you what they think.
➡️ Get Pollify Pro today and start building polls your visitors will actually enjoy answering.
Final Thoughts: Why Now Is the Time to Try Pollify Pro
If you’ve been relying on generic polling tools, fighting with shortcodes, or paying too much for SaaS platforms that take your data off-site, now’s your moment to switch.
Pollify Pro isn’t just another poll plugin– it’s a complete audience engagement system built to work inside your WordPress site, exactly where you need it. From NPS surveys and VS polls to lead capture and deep analytics, you get everything in one place without sacrificing speed, control, or branding.
And this is just the beginning. I’m already working on new features that will make Pollify even more powerful- from advanced integrations to smarter targeting options.
So here’s my challenge to you:
Install Pollify Pro today. Create your first poll in minutes. Watch how quickly your audience engages when the experience is seamless and fully branded to your site.
Introducing Pollify– the first ever 100% Gutenberg-powered poll plugin in the WordPress ecosystem.
Polls and surveys help easily generate valuable feedback from your audience. By creating a poll with specific questions on your posts or pages, you can find out if the customers like your products/services or other issues you want to address.
Moreover, there are lots of instances where you need a poll/online voting solution-
Idea generation: Ask your audience which features to add to your upcoming product or which topic to write on for your next newsletters.
Product development: You can make a list of challenges or goals and ask users to vote for those they relate to most.
Audience feedback: If you run a course business, you can ask audiences how they liked a specific course or class.
User engagement: Polls allow visitors to share their thoughts and ideas, making them feel valued and contributing to a better user experience on your site.
Gather Leads: You can capture leads and make your email list stronger.
Let’s run a live test here with the Pollify plugin!
Do you agree that a Poll plugin has the above use cases?
If you agree that a poll or online voting app has the above-mentioned use cases then choose the option "Yes". Otherwise, choose "No".
Yes, our poll maker plugin does just that! You can create any type of poll, survey, or online voting all within your Gutenberg editor, with no shortcode!
In this write-up, we will dive deep and learn about the features and functionalities of the Pollify plugin and how it helps you add a poll system to your WordPress website.
Pollify: First 100% Gutenberg-powered Poll Maker Plugin for WordPress
Pollify is a powerful WordPress poll creation and survey-making plugin, fully integrated with the Gutenberg. You can design, schedule, and customize polls and add them anywhere on your site without shortcodes. With advanced analytics, multilingual support, and premium features, Pollify provides everything you need to create, manage, and analyze polls seamlessly on your WordPress site.
You know that Gutenberg has been a revolution in the WordPress industry since the beginning. With every WordPress release, Gutenberg has been getting remarkable updates and functionalities. It’s getting better and more powerful day by day. You can now use blocks to design your own theme and website page. All types of plugins were/are introducing Gutenberg blocks to use their feature.
Unfortunately, no poll plugins used Gutenberg blocks to add poll questions easily to any webpage. We’re bringing this capability for the first time with Pollify. You can add polls and surveys directly into your Gutenberg editor using our poll maker plugin.
Let’s take a quick look into Pollify features-
Gutenberg Integration
Multivote Functionality
Scheduled Polls
Anonymous Polls
Kudos block for quick appreciation voting
Real-time Results
Customization Options
Advanced Analytics
Multilingual Support
Up/Down voting block for fast sentiment feedback
User-Friendly Admin Dashboard
Chart Visualization
IP Address Tracking
Vote Reason Option
NPS survey block for detailed customer satisfaction scoring
Since its initial release, Pollify has grown beyond its original capabilities– adding more block types, deeper styling controls, and improved performance. The plugin now includes engagement-focused blocks like-
Now let us explore some of its features in detail.
Pollify Plugin Core Features at a Glance
Create Poll and Set Questions Right from Gutenberg Editor
As we said earlier, you can add poll and set questions using the Gutenberg block allowing you to add poll/survey questions to any post or page. You will find the block in the Gutenberg editor named “Poll” to add poll questions.
Just click the “+” button in the post/page to find the Poll block you are looking for. We will discuss this in detail in the later section of this post.
And now, with the latest version, you can also create specialized blocks like Kudos, Up/Down, and NPS directly from the block inserter – no extra configuration or shortcodes required.
Poll Customization to Make It More Attractive
You can add different customization options to your poll questions using the Pollify poll maker plugin. In the advanced section right-hand side of the menu, you will find the styling options.
You can add titles and descriptions to your polls. Also, you can customize the vote button to say whatever you like.
Moreover, you can choose the color of the poll closing button. Along with that, you can set the
Padding
Dimension
Border
Submission button colors
to make your poll stand out.
The latest update also allows you to control typography, adjust spacing per block, and use pre-designed theme patterns for faster styling.
Multivote System & Single Vote Limitation
If you have a poll question that needs a user to choose multiple options, then you can do that with the Pollify poll creator plugin. This way you can get more specified feedback from the users.
Also, you can limit the user to choose one option only. It will ensure that you get accurate results from your poll/survey. Just choose the “Allowed one response per computer” option from the right-hand side menu.
For more control, Pollify Pro now supports vote limits per user role and even per registered account, allowing highly targeted poll setups.
Poll Scheduling Option
You can schedule the posts to end at a specific date and time. This will help you survey in your own time and not worry about closing the pole in a specific time.
Also, you can set what message you want to show after closing the pole as well. You can hide the poll, show the poll result, or show a customized message to the users.
With the Pro version, you can also schedule poll visibility in cycles – perfect for recurring events, seasonal campaigns, or monthly voting.
Front-End Result Display
If you want to show the results of the poll with sorting options, avatars, and individualized messages for enhanced engagement.
You can now choose between bar charts, pie charts, or percentage views for a more visual and engaging display.
Anonymous Polls
You can collect anonymous polls, ensuring participant privacy by collecting minimal data, compliant with GDPR.
For added trust, Pollify offers clear privacy messaging below polls so users know exactly what data is (and isn’t) being collected.
User-Friendly Admin Dashboard
For the admin, Pollify has a very user-friendly admin dashboard. Admin can view-
Results
Recent Votes
Complete votes list
Popular location
Ip Overviews
Ip Details
This dashboard will help the admin make informed decisions quite easily because the data is very organized and it is easy to understand.
So, these are the free features of the Pollify plugin.
The latest dashboard update also integrates CSV export, role-based result filtering, and instant chart previews – all without leaving your WordPress admin.
Upcoming Free and Pro Features of the Polliy Plugin

Keep an eye on our website to see the new release.
Today, almost all of the “Upcoming pro features” mentioned above are fully functional in Pollify Pro, including NPS, VS, and Feedback polls. You can try these on our live demo at Pollify Features to see exactly how they work.
For free users, new block types like Up/Down and Kudos voting are already available, so even without upgrading, you can start adding interactive engagement tools that go beyond simple choice polls.
In short, the free version of Pollify is perfect for getting started with Gutenberg-based polling, while Pollify Pro transforms it into a complete audience interaction and feedback suite for WordPress sites.
Now, let’s see a short tutorial on how to create a poll using the Pollify plugin.
How to Create a Poll on WordPress using the Pollify Poll Maker Plugin
So, you have learned about the Pollify plugin and its features. You are curious to know how it works right?
Step 1: Install the Pollify Poll Maker Plugin
First, you need to install the plugin from your dashboard. Or you can download the plugin from the WordPress.org site and upload the plugin separately to your WordPress website.
To install the plugin, go to WP-Admin–> Plugins–> Add New. There type “Pollify” in the search box. Then install and activate the plugin.
Tip: You can also install Pollify Pro directly from our pricing page after purchase, and it will automatically unlock all premium blocks and analytics features alongside the free core plugin.
Step 2: Create a New Page or Post to Create a Poll Question
Now open a page or post from Posts–> Add New. Then in the post, click on the “+” button and write Poll.
That will add a poll block in the post.
New in 2025: Pro users can insert advanced block types like Rating, NPS, and VS directly in this step, without any extra configuration or external embeds.
