Title: [Plugin: WP-Polls] Compatible with version 3.3?? Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: WP-Polls] Compatible with version 3.3?? * [eozdag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eozdag/) * (@eozdag) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/) * I don’t think this is compatible with version 3.3, is it? * When I try to vote, it says “Your last request is still being processed. Please wait a while …” but a while never comes. I can’t vote or view results. Thoughts/ advice? * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-polls/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-polls/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [14 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476369) * Your theme is missing or or both * [marklindhout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklindhout/) * (@marklindhout) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476458) * Nope, this has absolutely nothing to do with `wp_head()` or `wp_footer()`. * My self-built theme runs on WordPress 3.3.1 on Apache and it most definitely has these functions on each page. I double checked just now to make sure, and both functions are there. Yet every time someone tries to vote there is a Javascript alert box proclaiming: “Your last request is still being processed. Please wait a while …” * I will dig into this a little further, since strangely enough this problem does not seems to occur on Lighttpd 1.4, will update as soon as I know something. * [marklindhout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklindhout/) * (@marklindhout) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476459) * Hmm, interesting. Tracking this, I found that when the Javascript function `poll_vote()` is invoked (by clicking the _vote_-button) the following error is shown in the Firebug console: `NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://www.domain.tld/wp-content/ plugins/wp-polls/wp-polls.php` * Calling it a second time —either by clicking the button or directly using the console— throws the message claiming the request is being processed. Which is of course untrue since there’s a 404 being returned. * The strange thing is, the file is physically there. I checked it, it’s there, it’s not empty. So my suspicions is that there’s some server re-write rule, or a file/folder permission that’s causing this. * [marklindhout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklindhout/) * (@marklindhout) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476460) * Even stranger, I double-checked, and this issue is non-existant on Lighttpd. * When I turn of permalink URL rewriting (selecting the topmost option under Settings > Permalinks) i get the following: * `NetworkError: 500 Internal Server Error - http://www.logistiektotaal.nl/wp-content/ plugins/wp-polls/wp-polls.php` * So I suspect this has something to do with server settings. I will call the web hosting company and report back with findings. * [marklindhout](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marklindhout/) * (@marklindhout) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476461) * And indeed, after contact with the server administrator he pointed out there was a security rule in effect that prevented files with 777 (or world writable) permissions to be accessed by AJAX calls. My solution was to set the entire ` wp-content/plugins/wp-polls` folder to permission 755. * If you’re wondering, the command is called `chmod`, and you can apply it using using your ftp client or the command line. * Thread Starter [eozdag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eozdag/) * (@eozdag) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476462) * This is great, very thorough, thank you! * [metalrecusants](https://wordpress.org/support/users/metalrecusants/) * (@metalrecusants) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-polls-compatible-with-version-33/#post-2476553) * I have my permissions on 755 and I still have these problems… anyone could help out?
