Collect Applause with the Kudos Voting Feature

With the Kudos (Applause) Voting feature in Pollify Pro, you can let visitors show appreciation with a single click—no typing, no forms. It’s the simplest way to boost engagement and capture positive sentiment on your WordPress site, especially when a comment or survey feels like too much work.

Whether you’re publishing blog content, rolling out a new feature, or updating documentation, Kudos gives your users a voice- without saying a word.

Why Use the Kudos Voting Feature #

This lightweight feedback tool is all about frictionless interaction. Here’s what it brings to your site:

  • Encourage positive engagement without needing a form or full comment.
  • Get real-time analytics to see which pages resonate most.
  • Quickly assess content performance based on applause data.
  • Add fun and rewarding interactivity to your posts and product updates.

Add Kudos Where It Matters Most #

You can use the Kudos feature anywhere feedback matters:

  • Blog Posts: Add a quick “Did you find this helpful?” clap section.
  • Product or Landing Pages: Let users show love for a feature or value prop.
  • Documentation Pages: Add a simple “Was this clear?” prompt.
  • Feature Announcements or Changelogs: Collect excitement with “Excited about this update?”

Wherever you embed it, you make interaction simple and rewarding.

  • Open any page, post, or custom post type in the Gutenberg editor.

Set Up Kudos with Custom Options #

General Settings #

  • Status: Decide when users can vote.
    • Open – Voting is enabled.
    • Closed – Voting is disabled (you can choose to hide the block or display results).
    • Close After – Set a time limit to auto-close voting.
  • Title: Assign a title to help track votes in the analytics panel.

Response Settings #

  • Allow One Response per Computer:
    • For logged-in users, voting is tracked by user ID.

This helps avoid duplicate voting and manipulation.
