  The poll feature on my blog doesn’t seem to be working under any circumstances. I put an entry in the three fields and clicked ‘save’ and it came up with:

  Poll could not be created

  Error: An error has occurred; Poll not created.

  Poll could not be created

  Evary time. I didn’t alter any of the other fields

  The blog is http//:www.workbike.wordpress.com I haven’t published the poll: I was going to leave it until it worked.

  Many thanks

  Well, the blog looks perfectly normal. Without more information about how you created the poll, we can’t speculate. Can you try to create a DIFFERENT poll, as a test? What happens then?

  I’ve already tried several different polls, with different lists, different lengths, titles and options. As no-one else is having the problem, I suspect it’s me making a mistake. I’ll try later and say exactly what I’m doing. and whyt happens.

  I’m having a different problem. Everytime I create a poll, it says it’s been created, but doesn’t give me the option to send it to the editor, and the buttons that are supposed to be Orange are Gray. Any ideas?

  @thebrunette1980: The “Send to Editor” option only appears when you create the poll via the button in the post or page editor. Go to Polls>Edit (in your dashboard’s navigation bar), click “HTML code”, copy the shortcode and paste it in your post.
