Steps to Add the Poll List Element

  1. Navigate to the page, blog, contest, or sidebar where you want to add the poll.
  2. Enter a title in the title field.
  3. In the Drag-and-Drop Editor (WPBakery Page Builder), click the Add Widget button.
  4. Select the Poll List widget from the grid selection window.
  5. In the pop-out window, configure the Poll List settings:
    1. Widget Title: This title appears in WPBakery Page Builder for reference.
    2. Display Title: Shows the widget title on your web page.
    3. Poll Group: Choose a Poll Group to add. Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac) to select multiple groups.
    4. Results Label Format: Choose how poll results are displayed below the progress bar for each option:
      1. Percentage: (Default) Displays votes as percentages (e.g., Yes = 49%, No = 51%).
      2. Number of Votes: Shows the actual number of votes (e.g., Yes = 5, No = 4).
      3. None: Hides vote counts and percentages, displaying only the poll and options.
    5. Display "Show Results" Button: Select Yes or No. Choosing No hides the button so results can’t be seen before voting.
    6. Display Link to Past Polls: Select Yes or No to show or hide a link to previous polls.
    7. Minimum Column Width: The default is 300 pixels. Use 0 for a single-column display. The minimum width determines how many columns appear based on the available content area or screen size. For example, at 300 px, content displays in two columns on a 700 px-wide area and one column on a 320 px mobile screen.
    8. Items to Display per Page: Set the number of poll items to display in the list.
    9. Allow Multiple Pages: Select Yes to enable pagination if there are more items than the set display limit, or No to show all items on one page.
    10. Extra Class Name: Add a custom class name if you want to apply specific CSS styling to this widget.
    11. Click the Save Changes button to apply your settings.
