Polls – give a random order of answers. – Support

Hello.

Polls – give a random order of answers.

When you create a survey. And you write answers in a row:
1
2
3
4
5
6
(I created 6 answers, maybe the quantity somehow affects.)

Then, when you save the topic, the survey answers are sometimes given randomly:
5
1
2
3
4
6

Or backward – forward (which is also bad):
6
5
4
3
2
1

How to put things in order? I need the answers to be shown in the order in which I entered them. 🙁

Is this error just for me, or for the plugin as a whole??

I will not be able to provide you with any data. This is all too complicated and incomprehensible for me .. (

We’ll have to torment ourselves with such polls. I will swap them after publication.

Hey @sea34,

usually, the answers of the polls stay at the same position. The order is not changing after saving them. So I guess there is a problem on your website. But I can only help you if I can get further information.

Hello @sea34

Can you check if the following modification fix the issue?

Open /wp-content/plugins/asgaros-forum/includes/forum-polls.php. Replace line 491 with the following:

$poll->options = $this->asgarosforum->db->get_results("SELECT po.id, po.title, (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM {$this->asgarosforum->tables->polls_votes} AS pv WHERE pv.option_id = po.id) AS votes FROM {$this->asgarosforum->tables->polls_options} AS po WHERE po.poll_id = {$poll->id} ORDER BY po.id ASC;", 'OBJECT_K');

Let me know, if the issue is solved afterwards so I can include this fix in the upcoming update.
