 * I can’t remove any answers, can’t change them and I’m not able to turn off the“
   others” option! The back office removes answers and makes changes. But after 
   reloading nothing has changed.

 * I don’t really understand what you mean with javascript enabled? On my computer(
   Macbook pro) or browser (Chrome and Firefox)? I restarted my computer and tried
   again. The problem remains.

 * Oké, I checked with firefox, Safari and Chrome, all have Javascript enabled. 
   The problem remains.

 * Oh yes, just to be complete. I’m using the latest version of WordPress 3.9.1–
   nl_NL. Could that be the problem?

 * Hey John,
 * Did you install any other plugin recently?
    This problem might be caused by a
   conflict between YOP Poll and another plugin.

 * Hi John,
 * Edit yop_poll_model.php and replace the edit_poll_in_database function with
 *     ```

 * Thanks for trying but this code stops the backoffice from working. Blanc screen.
   There is a bug in it.

 * I found the problem: `This poll doesn't exist!` was in the original file `This
   poll doesn(backtick)t exist!` That is the only difference between these two functions.
   I compared them in Textwrangler.
