For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/wpshout.com\/wordpress-hosting-survey-results\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our big WordPress hosting survey<\/a> was done entirely on Typeform, and we couldn&#8217;t be happier with the result. You too could also try it out, especially if what you need are some really advanced, functional, and great-looking WordPress surveys.<\/p>\n<p>Otherwise, here is how to set up a poll with YOP Poll:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Step #1: <a href=\"#step-one\">Install and activate YOP Poll<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Step #2: <a href=\"#step-two\">Set up a WordPress poll<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Step #3: <a href=\"#step-three\">Insert your WordPress poll<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"su-divider su-divider-style-default\" style=\"margin:40px 0;border-width:15px;border-color:#4267cf\"><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"step-one\">Step #1: Install and activate YOP Poll<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re sure you&#8217;re familiar with this process, but just in case, feel free to check out this guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/how-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin\/\">installing and activating WordPress plugins<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-opt-id=604013950  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mllj2j8xvfl0.i.optimole.com\/cb:c5QE.37290\/w:1024\/h:518\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/themeisle.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/install-yop-poll.png\"  decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4155\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 8px 2px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
