Observations

  • This plugin does not support Internet Explorer Browser. One of the goals of this plugin is to be js/css lightweight and jQuery free.

  • ACF Onyx Poll register fields via php to be able to use WordPress translation functions for field labels. So you won’t be able to view/edit the fields inside ACF Custom Fields Settings.

  • To enable a better/faster CRON you need to manually set your host cronjob to get https://domain.tld/wp-json/onyx/polls/cron endpoint or disable WP-Cron define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true); inside your wp-config and manually create the cron in your host/server

    • Option 1: To run every hour set the cron:
      0 * * * * wget -q -O - https://domain.tld/wp-json/onyx/polls/cron > /dev/null 2>&1

    • Option 2: if you disable the default WP-Cron:
      0 * * * * wget -q -O - https://domain.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron > /dev/null 2>&1

HSP

Do I need ACF PRO Installed?

Yes, Advanced Custom Fields PRO is mandatory

How to add a poll to a post?

  • If Gutenberg is active, you can use the ACF Onyx Poll Block with live preview
  • Or..use the shortcode [onyx-poll] to get the latest poll
  • To add a specific poll, assign the option ID with the requested poll to the shortcode: [onyx-poll id=XX]
  • You can align the poll container with the option class in the shortcode: [onyx-poll class=left]. Available options are left, right, full
  • Is it possible to combine style and aligment. Ex: [onyx-poll class="standard left"]

How to add a poll to a sidebar?

  • To include a widget, your theme need to support it. Go to Appereance > Widgets and select Poll widget from ACF Onyx Poll

Is it possible to use my own CSS?

Yes, go to the settings poll menu. You can do some customization by overriding some CSS variables inside your css file.

.onyx-poll {
    --pollWidgetWidth: 400px;
    --borderColor: #dbe9f5;
    --boxShadow: 0 4px 12px 6px rgba(31,70,88,0.04);
    --modalBorderRadius: 4px;
    --questionColor: #333;
    --choiceColor: #333;
    --buttonColor: #333;
    --choiceHoverBG: #f5f5f5;
    --choiceBarColor: #e0e0e0;
    --choiceBorderRadius: 100px;
    --closeBorderRadius: 100px;
    --loaderBorderColor: rgb(209, 226, 240);
    --loaderBG: #a3caec;
}

What kind of logs and user data this plugin saves in database?

At the database side, ACF Onyx Poll uses the default ACF/Wordpress structure to store data (the meta fields). Nothing to worry about here.

For privacy, ACF Onyx Poll does not store any user data like ip address, usernames etc…

The only things the plugin saves in the user’s browser is some cookies to check the user choice for specific poll, if the modal was previously showed/closed and a timer. You can check the cookies by looking for onyx_poll_limit_XX, onyx_poll_modal and onyx_poll_choice_XX.

What about browsers support?

All modern browsers will be fine: Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge (legacy and chromium based).

This plugin will not work with any Internet Explorer version.

The concept of polls is so simple, yet many WP poll plugins completely fail at this in my opinion, over complicating things, bugs, bad designs, it’s all over the place but generally quite bad. This plugin however does polls well. It’s simple with a clean design. No bloat or bugginess. It just works and does the job well.

Nice and simple. Works great – I just hope it’s not abandoned.

Very nice plugin for creating polls (making use of ACF PRO). Adding new polls is a breeze and with widgets and shortcodes they are embedded where ever you want.
