I've been using Advanced Poll for a year without any problem. However, when I try and integrate it into Wordpress, I get a weird database error:
MySQL Error : Database Error
Error Number: 1046 No Database Selected
The poll still works on all the other pages of my website but NOT with WordPress. Does anybody have any ideas of what the problem could be?

I believe I saw the answer to this a couple of weeks ago on the WordPress support forum. Unfortunately, I do not remember the solution. I ran across it while doing a search for "Advanced Poll." So, I thought I would look it up for you, but now a search for "Advanced Poll" yields no results. This is strange considering I have made a post there on this topic and it still shows up in my profile. I am planning on adding WordPress to some sites, and I hope this is no indication of problems with the search feature. Perhaps the support forum did some pruning?
Here is a post where the person says they could not add Advanced Poll. Someone pointed them to a plugin for html, and they say it worked:
Stumped by Advanced Poll v2.03

If you try the above method, please return to this forum and let us know if it worked.
Here's a different poll plugin for Wordpress:

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, I was never able to find a "solution". Other polls also didn't seem to offer the features and simplicity of Advanced Poll, so I was really starting to be in a bind. However, I did find a workaround. In WordPress I could only display Advanced Poll without problems by including it in the Main, Page, Comments, etc. templates. So, instead of being able to include it in one of the peripheral files (like sidebar) that get loaded every time, I have to include the Advanced Poll code in every file, which makes it rather redundant, but functional nonetheless.
Check out my page at http://www.sfubusiness.ca/buzz to see the script working nicely with WordPress.

No, I didn't try it, b/c I'm not trying to insert php into an actual blog entry.
