Once you’ve installed Pollify, creating your first poll is simple and intuitive. Whether you want to collect opinions, run a quiz, or gather quick feedback, this guide shows you how to launch your first poll using the Gutenberg editor in just a few clicks.

Add a Poll Block Inside Any Post or Page #

1. Go to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Open an existing post/page or create a new one.
3. Click the + Add Block icon in the Gutenberg editor.
4. Search for Poll and select the Pollify block.

The poll block will now appear inside your content area, ready for customization.

Add Your Poll Title and Options #

Inside the block:

• Enter a title for your poll (e.g., “What features do you want next?”)
• Add a description if you’d like to give your audience some context.
• Create your options — you can add as many choices as you need.
• Customize the vote button text (default: “Vote”) to match your tone or language.

All changes appear live in the editor, giving you full control without switching tabs or windows.

Set Up Poll Behavior from Sidebar Settings #

With the poll block selected, check the right-hand sidebar for advanced options:

Control Poll Status #

Choose how and when users can vote:

• Open – Accepts new responses
• Closed – Disables voting completely
• Close After – Lets you schedule a closing time

Show or Hide the Poll After Voting #

Decide what users see once the poll ends:

• Show the final results
• Show a custom message
• Hide the poll entirely

Confirmation Message #

Set how you want to thank or guide users after they vote:

• Show a simple confirmation message
• Show poll results directly

Allow Single or Multiple Responses #

Pollify gives you control over how users can vote:

• Single Choice: Users select only one option
• Multiple Choice: Allow them to choose more than one
• Restrict voting by IP or user ID to prevent spam or duplicates

Customize Your Poll’s Look and Feel #

Without touching a single line of code, you can style the poll to match your site:

• Adjust colors, padding, and borders
• Change the submit button style, width, and alignment
• Add a poll closing banner to display when the poll ends

Pollify’s design system naturally inherits your theme styles, so everything looks consistent from the start.

Publish Your Poll #

Once you’re happy with the setup:

1. Preview the page to see how the poll looks.
2. Hit Publish or Update on your page/post.
3. Done — your poll is live and collecting feedback!

Tip: Use Polls to Keep Visitors Engaged #

Adding a poll inside your blog posts, product pages, or even your homepage is a proven way to increase time on site and encourage user interaction.

Why Pollify Beats Crowdsignal for Everyday Polling #

With Crowdsignal, you need to manage your polls from an external dashboard and deal with embed codes. That’s extra work and breaks your editorial flow.

Pollify eliminates that friction:

• No switching tabs
• No third-party dependencies
• Just a fast, smooth Gutenberg-native experience

If you’re building a WordPress-first site, Pollify is the better match — hands down.
