Why Use WBD Progress Bar? Most progress bar plugins are either too bloated with unnecessary features or too simple to be actually useful. WBD Progress Bar is built differently: 🚀 Performance First The block outputs pure static HTML and CSS — no jQuery, no heavy JavaScript libraries. The frontend script only loads when your block is actually on the page, keeping your site fast. 🎨 Visual Flexibility Four display modes, five style variations, ten one-click templates, gradient fill, custom radius, custom height, and full color control — all without touching a single line of code. 🧩 Built for Gutenberg This is a native WordPress block, not a shortcode or widget. It works seamlessly inside the block editor, Full Site Editor (FSE), reusable blocks, and block patterns. 📱 Responsive by Default Every mode — single bar, counter, circular, group — adapts automatically to mobile, tablet, and desktop screens without extra configuration. ⚡ Scroll Animation Without a Plugin Built-in IntersectionObserver-based scroll trigger animates your bars when they come into view. No extra animation plugin needed. Source Code & Build Instructions Source Code Repository: https://github.com/wpbranddigital/wbd-progress-bar This plugin is built using @wordpress/scripts (webpack). The compiled/minified files in the build/ directory are generated from the human-readable source files located in the src/ directory of the plugin. Source files included in this plugin: src/index.js — Block registration entry point src/edit.js — Editor component (block inspector controls and editor preview) src/save.js — Save component (frontend HTML output) src/view.js — Frontend JavaScript (scroll animations, counter animations) src/block.json — Block metadata and attribute definitions src/editor.scss — Editor-only styles src/style.scss — Frontend styles To build from source: Make sure you have Node.js (v18+) and npm installed. Navigate to the plugin directory. Run npm install to install dependencies. Run npm run build to generate the production build/ directory. Run npm start to start the development watcher with live rebuild. The only build dependency is @wordpress/scripts (see package.json). How To Use Step 1 — Add the Block Open any post, page, or template in the WordPress editor. Click the + block inserter button, search for “Progress Bar”, and click to insert the WBD Progress Bar block. Step 2 — Choose a Display Mode In the right sidebar, find the Block Mode panel at the top. Select one of four modes: Single Bar — A classic horizontal progress bar. Best for individual skills, project completion, or goal tracking. Number Counter — An animated number that counts up on scroll. Great for statistics pages (“500+ clients”, “$1M+ revenue”). Circular / Radial — A circular SVG ring progress indicator. Perfect for dashboards or visual KPI displays. Group / Skills Section — Multiple bars stacked together. Ideal for resume skills sections or comparison lists. Step 3 — Apply a Template (Optional) Open the Template Styles panel and click any of the 10 preset templates to instantly apply a complete color scheme and style. You can fine-tune colors individually after applying a template. Step 4 — Customize Settings Depending on your selected mode, configure the following panels: Progress Settings — Set percentage, height, radius, label text, label position, and percentage position. Animation — Choose animation type (ease, bounce, elastic), set duration, and enable scroll-triggered animation. Milestone & Tooltip — Add a milestone marker at any percentage point with a custom label. Enable hover tooltip for additional info. Typography — Set font family and font size for the label and percentage text independently. Color Settings — Set fill color, track color, label color, and percentage text color. Enable gradient fill to use two colors. Step 5 — Using the Number Counter Switch to Number Counter mode. Set: Target Number — The final value to count up to (e.g. 1500). Prefix — Text before the number (e.g. $). Suffix — Text after the number (e.g. + or %). Label — A description shown below the number (e.g. “Happy Clients”). Show Progress Bar Below — Toggle to add a bar underneath the counter. The counter animates automatically on page load, or enable Animate on Scroll so it only starts when the user scrolls to it. Step 6 — Using Group / Skills Section Switch to Group / Skills Section mode. In the sidebar: Each bar item has its own Label, Percentage, and Bar Color. Click + Add Bar to add more items (no limit). Click ✕ to remove any item. Set Label Position — Above bar (with optional percentage on the same line) or Inline row. Set Percentage Position — Inside bar / Outside right / Same line as label. Adjust Gap Between Bars and Inline Gap sliders to control spacing. Step 7 — Using Circular / Radial Mode Switch to Circular / Radial mode. In the sidebar: Choose one of the 10 circular themes by clicking the theme thumbnail. Adjust Size (80–300px) and Stroke Width (3–20px). Set the Progress Percentage. Toggle Show Label Below to display a text label under the ring. Fine-tune Stroke Color, Track Color, and Center Text Color individually. Step 8 — Publish Click Publish or Update. The block renders as clean, static HTML on the frontend with no extra requests or render-blocking scripts. Where can I get support? Visit our contact page for support.
