Secret Poll

[Bill Edwards]

Dear All

Is there a way that I can create a truly secret poll? That is NO ONE, not Admins or Mods can view the result?

I've looked at the settings, but I'm struggling.

Many thanks

Bill

What's the benefit of the poll if no one can view the results?

Or are you wanting it to be private until it's closed?

Aiwa got in before me...a poll where nobody can see the results at all? What's the point?

But if you want to hide the results until the poll has been closed then take a look at my hide poll results plugin

Sorry, I've explained badly.

I mean I want to see the result, but I don't want ANYONE to see the actual vote. No one is to be able to find out who voted for what.

The 'who' that voted for 'what' is exposed with public polls enabled. Don't make the poll a public one and then nobody can see the who/what.

Thank you, but I'm obviously missing something. I turned off public polls, set up a test poll and Admin & Moderators can see who's voted for what ? I don't want ANYONE to be able to see the votes.

You are going to have to clarify what you mean, please.

A normal poll...people can see the results as they go, but not who has voted for which item. Just the total votes.

A public poll....people can see that person a voted for option a and so on.

What is it that you are trying to achieve?

See if the Moderator permission below sorts you out:

We have a Moderator/Admin Team that needs thinning.

I want each Mod & Admin to vote in a poll for the members they want to keep on the team.

At the end of the poll, we need to see how many votes each member got. But I do NOT want anyone to see who voted for who.

Create copy to your theme

In Custom CSS  'copy theme' add
