 * Which poll plugin?
 * If you are referring to the one here: [http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php](http://www.lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming.php)
   then you are in luck, as yesterday evening I managed to get it to work with 1.5,
   as I mentioned in another post.

    I
   asked my host if they had upgraded the Zend Optimizer when they upgraded PHP 
   to version 4.3.10 and they just to me that it is at the latest version currently.
 * I don’t know what to do. 🙁

 * I’m having some difficulty also, even following Mathew’s very clear directions
   I’m getting:
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function: vote_poll() in /home2/jason/public_html/
   gm/wp-content/themes/parishuddha/index.php on line 1
 * hmm…might it work with a different theme?

 * Nevermind…I’m a loser. Well, that, and no where does it say in the directions
   that one needs to activate at the dashboard, just to use the whatever.php to 
   install. I’m just glad to get it going.

 * I’d like to display 2 or more polls on one page, the problem is of course the
   cookie disallows the other polls. Here is the cookie line:
 * // If User Click Vote
    if(isset($_POST[‘vote’])) { $voted = true; } // Check 
   User Cookie if(isset($_COOKIE[“voted_”.$polls_questions[0][‘id’]])) { $voted 
   = true; }
 * I am calling the polls by ID:
    <?php get_polls(‘3’); ?> <?php get_polls(‘2’);?
   > <?php get_polls(‘1’); ?>
 * Is this a quick change? Thanks so much

 * It all installs fine and shows up but when you vote the results always stay at
   0% no votes – any ideas.

 * hi all, my guess is that u all didnt put in the tables to wp-settings.
 * -> Installation Instructions
    ————————————————– // Open wp-settings.php
 * Find:
    —————————————————————— $wpdb->postmeta = $table_prefix . ‘postmeta’; ——————————————————————
   Add Below It: —————————————————————— $wpdb->pollsa = $table_prefix . ‘pollsa’;
   $wpdb->pollsq = $table_prefix . ‘pollsq’; ——————————————————————

 * Those of you with the MySQL error – are you **SURE** you made the changes to 
   the wp-settings and uploaded it? I got the MySQL error, the exact same thing 
   until I realized I’d forgotten to upload the wp-settings file. Once I did that,
   it installed with a snap.
 * *off to try polls now…*

 * I’m getting a similar error listed above. Everything seemed to install just fine,
   but after anyone casts a vote, I get the following message on the screen:
 * Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started
   at /home/tir-na-o/public_html/WordPress/wp-content/themes/plain-vanilla/header.
   php:6) in /home/tir-na-o/public_html/WordPress/wp-content/plugins/polls.php on
   line 71
 * any ideas?
