Since the edit button disappeared it has been difficult to post a poll with more photos and to check if the poll is correct. Yesterday I had two attempts to make such a poll; one unsuccessful and one successful. For those interested I will show below how I made it:
Step 1: Start creating a poll
Step 2: Put 1, 2, 3 … n in the space dedicated to the questions and I click add after each one.
Step 3 : hit cancel
Step 4: Return to the draft (In the More section, click Post, then click Draft) and click “Take the poll” ( the one you closed before)
You will most likely receive the message: ”Ooops, sorry! We couldn’t find it. Go to homepage”. Click on ”go to homepage”, then “Create”, click “Poll”. The poll you started to create will appear !
Step5: Upload the photos and write the answers for each question
Step 6: Check if the poll is correct by refreshing the page.
Step 7: Enter the poll title and description
Step 8: Hit publish button!
Note: I made this post as Poll, following the steps mentioned here, to check again if it is the correct way. I hope everything will be fine! If this poll doesn’t look right it means I worked for nothing, and you should ignore it!?

Always grateful for such tutorials!! 😀
Thanks very much for assembling this useful and very clear post, Ileana!
I’m glad if you find this useful!
I’ve never tried creating a poll before, but I think I should give it a try and learn to create one. Thanks for the lesson! 🙂
You should try. It’s simple, especially if you don’t have to upload more photos.
I have no problems with my polls since I only add two questions and one photo
This is the only method I have found to be able to upload more photos in the same poll. It is also a good way to check if the poll will be published without errors. I have seen many polls where the questions are duplicated, or one of the answers has been lost.
I wrote a post on this and for me my method works

What about the draft folder. Does your draft remain there too?
I know your method, but I can’t apply it if I want to upload more photos. Apart from this, there are too many drafts left in the draft folder that I can’t delete. My method is valid when I want to upload more photos in a poll. Also the draft does not remain in the folder after publication.
You say after clicking cancel you return to the draft. Does it mean when you click cancel it automatically gets to the draft folder?
Yes. That is right! After I close the poll, it gets in the draft folder in my profile.
The one surrounded by red in the picture! (step 4)
I clicked there but it says ‘Sorry we could not find it’ I got back to the draft and it once again said the same thing.
I opened a new poll page by clicking create and poll once again and there my draft appeared. I think this step needs to be clarified by you.
I will now take the next step and get back to you.
Follow the steps described at “step 4” : ( You will most likely receive the message: ”Ooops, sorry! We couldn’t find it. Go to homepage”. Click on ”go to homepage”, then click“Create” and click “Poll”. The poll you started to create will appear ! )
This step needs to be added.
I had a post a long time ago that explained this. https://virily.com/virily_poll/how-i-do-cleaning-upor-edit-my-drafts-on-virily-if-i-dont-find-edit-button/.
Refreshing ate up my title and description and answers (yes/ no got repreated several times.) I am losing interest. I will once again add title and description and if it does not get sorted out I will not try again.
Sorry, Grace! The steps must be followed as described. The title and description of the poll (step7) are written what verification (step6)
Sorry, Grace! The steps must be followed as described. The title and description of the poll (step7) are written after verification (step6)
I have done that Its OK. Thanks for your time.
You are not required to use the method unless you find it useful. It works for me!
Which browser do you use?
I’m using Chrome! Try it.?
Great method! I guess admins are trying to boost our creativity. 😀
We should thank them for putting us to the test!??
Makes sense to me. Sort of like Norman’s Quiz directions.
Yes it is the same, except that I used close button.
