Double votes

  • I tried to vote with different options logged with/without Cookie and IP, by Username and in all combinations I can vote many times. How can I disable this? So that each user can vote only one time no matter if its registered user or not.

    That is not possible. The only thing I can think this happens is that the plugin fails to create an entry in your database and the record is not there. You might want to check if the database table wp_pollsip is created and there is an entry inside it. Also, you might want to check your server logs for any errors.

    I can not vote immediately after voting, but when I refresh a page after some time then I can vote again. I have 7 votes by myself on one poll. I was logged as administrator.

    Hello,

    first: thanks to lester chan! it is an awesome plugin, easy to change, many options, free to use! great work! i never made a plugin yet.

    I had the same case and changed check_voted, line 1328, to check_voted_username in wp-polls.php after i decided to allow votes just from logged in users and enabled the option: logged by username.
    Maybe i also changed line 402 if($get_voted_aids)) to if(empty($get_voted_aids))

    I remember reading the info that just the first two options decreases double-votes (IP or Cookie) I dont know, i forget.

    By the way donations help Plugin authors to invest more time.
    @veljus i hope this helped you and others. The solution is not the best one
