🧭 CP Dynamic Progress Bar
CP Dynamic Progress Bar is a lightweight WordPress plugin that adds a beautiful reading progress bar to your website, helping visitors instantly understand how far they are through a page, post, article, tutorial, documentation page, or custom post type.
As users scroll, the progress bar moves horizontally across the screen, creating a smooth visual guide that improves the reading experience without getting in the way. It is perfect for blogs, tutorials, documentation sites, product pages, learning content, long-form articles, membership content, and any WordPress site where visitor engagement matters.
Designed by ClearPath Software Solutions, this plugin focuses on clean performance, simple configuration, accessibility, and polished presentation.
✨ What It Does
CP Dynamic Progress Bar displays a fixed reading progress indicator on eligible WordPress content. You can show it at the top or bottom of the browser window, customize how it looks, choose where it appears, and optionally display a percentage label so visitors can see exactly how far they have progressed.
The plugin works beautifully with posts, pages, and supported public custom post types, giving you flexible control over where the progress bar appears.
🎨 Beautiful Style Presets
Choose from several built-in visual styles to match your website’s personality:
Minimal
A clean, professional progress bar for subtle reading guidance.
Gradient

Glowing
A polished, luminous style that gives the progress bar extra visual energy.
Striped
A more animated, attention-friendly option for sites that want a little extra movement.
Custom

⚙️ Easy Customization
From the plugin settings page, you can configure the progress bar without writing code.
You can adjust:
- Enabled or disabled status
- Supported post types
- Top or bottom position
- Bar height
- Z-index
- Primary color
- Secondary color
- Smooth transitions
- Animated stripes
- Percentage label visibility

This makes it easy to create a progress bar that feels native to your theme, brand, and site layout.
📊 Optional Percentage Label
Want visitors to see a number as they scroll?
CP Dynamic Progress Bar includes an optional percentage label that can display the current reading progress. You can align it to the left, center, or right depending on your design needs.
This is especially useful for documentation, tutorials, educational content, and long-form articles where readers appreciate knowing how much content remains.
♿ Accessibility-Friendly Design
CP Dynamic Progress Bar is built with accessibility in mind. The frontend progress indicator includes accessible role="progressbar" markup and updates its aria-valuenow value as the visitor scrolls.
The plugin also respects reduced-motion preferences and includes support for high-contrast environments, making it a thoughtful addition for a wider range of visitors.
⚡ Performance First
This plugin is designed to stay lightweight. Frontend assets only load on eligible singular content where the progress bar is enabled, helping avoid unnecessary overhead across your site.
The frontend script is dependency-free and uses efficient scroll handling so the progress bar feels smooth without weighing down the page.

CP Dynamic Progress Bar is ideal for:
- Blog posts

🛠️ Developer-Friendly
Advanced users can add their own CSS directly from the plugin settings. The plugin provides clear frontend targets, including:
#cppb-bar-wrapper
#cppb-bar-fillThis makes it easy to customize the bar beyond the built-in presets while keeping everything manageable from the WordPress dashboard.
🔒 Privacy Friendly
CP Dynamic Progress Bar does not collect personal data, does not track visitors, does not connect to external services, and does not load third-party scripts.
It simply adds a clean, customizable reading progress experience to your WordPress site.
