Gravity Forms Polls Add-On v1.5 is now available via automatic update and the Add-On browser. This is a maintenance release that also improves performance on high traffic sites with a high volume of form entries.
This version implements changes that raised the minimum required version of Gravity Forms to v1.7.4.2. You should make sure you have updated to the latest public release of Gravity Forms, v1.7.5, before applying this update.
Here is a look at what is new in Gravity Forms Polls Add-On v1.5:
- Gravity Forms minimum requirements changed to v1.7.4.2.
- Added a “Select one” option to the dropdown poll field.
- Added the gform_polls_cron_schedule filter so the frequency of the cron job can be modified.
- Changed the calculation of the cookie expiration to take into account the browser’s timezone if possible.
- Fixed an issue with results not being displayed when double quotes were inside field choices labels.
- Fixed an issue with results not being displayed in no conflict mode.
- Fixed an issue with poll submissions taking too long or timing out when there are already a large number of entries. When the results calculation takes more than 5 seconds then a cached version of the results will be displayed until the background process has finished calculating the new results.
- Fixed issue with repeat voting when the poll shortcode cookie attribute is not used.
- Removed some deprecated jQuery calls.
Please Note: Automatic Upgrade will only work if you have entered a valid Business or Developer License Key in the Settings page of Gravity Forms in your WordPress Administration Panel.
