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.

🔒 Honest Free vs Pro
The free version is genuinely useful — single bars, counters, templates, animations, and all customization options are free. Pro unlocks circular/radial rings, grouped skill sections, and hover tooltips for power users.

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 (Pro) — A circular SVG ring progress indicator. Perfect for dashboards or visual KPI displays.
• Group / Skills Section (Pro) — 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. (Hover Tooltip is Pro)
• 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 (Pro)

Switch to Group / Skills Section mode. In the sidebar:

1. Each bar item has its own Label, Percentage, and Bar Color.
2. Click + Add Bar to add more items (no limit).
3. Click ✕ to remove any item.
4. Set Label Position — Above bar (with optional percentage on the same line) or Inline row.
5. Set Percentage Position — Inside bar / Outside right / Same line as label.
6. Adjust Gap Between Bars and Inline Gap sliders to control spacing.

Step 7 — Using Circular / Radial Mode (Pro)

Switch to Circular / Radial mode. In the sidebar:

1. Choose one of the 10 circular themes by clicking the theme thumbnail.
2. Adjust Size (80–300px) and Stroke Width (3–20px).
3. Set the Progress Percentage.
4. Toggle Show Label Below to display a text label under the ring.
5. 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.
