WM Voting – Simple Polls & Surveys

WM Voting lets you create lightweight votings in WordPress and embed them in pages, posts, widgets or custom post types with a shortcode.

Visitors vote anonymously by clicking an answer. The vote is counted immediately and the current result is displayed with clean result bars and percentages.

The first version is intentionally focused: it does not try to replace a full survey suite. It gives you a simple way to publish live-style votings directly inside WordPress.

Privacy-friendly by design

WM Voting stores votes anonymously. To reduce repeated anonymous votes, the plugin uses a technical browser cookie/token and stores a non-reversible hash of that token with the vote. IP addresses are not stored by default.

Depending on your local legal requirements and your website setup, you may need to mention the voting cookie in your privacy policy or cookie information.

Developer-friendly structure

WM Voting is built as a free core plugin. The code structure already leaves room for future premium extensions through a separate add-on plugin.

Future extensions can hook into the free version without replacing the core plugin.
