According to the plugin listing this plugin was recently updated to v1.2.2, but almost four years ago version 1.3 of the plugin was mentioned as ”coming” in an earlier topic in this forum, saying that v1.3 should contain a feature that calculates the progress bar based on the length of the actual content of the post, even when responsive pages shift content and sidebars around depending on screen sizes. Other progress bar plugins have features where you can choose to limit the scope of the progress bar to the content area only (so that it’s not measuring headers and footers for example), and some have settings for whether to include comment areas or not when calculating the progress bar. Are features like these still in the works, and is a new version coming? I second @kellermandesign – a feature to exclude header and/or footer would be fab. Is this in the works? We ended up using WP Reading Progress instead. It also had problems at the time, but after contacting the author those problems were quickly resolved, and since then the plugin has worked like a charm on the site we’re using it on. You may want to check if that plugin suits your needs. This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by kellermandesign .
