TDD Progress Bar allows you to track the progress of multiple projects. Actually, as many as you’d like. A cool feature is the ability to “race” multiple projects at once. Progress bars are managed in the admin side and displayed using shortcode. Oh, and did I mention it has a very pretty animation?
<h3>Usage</h3>
In the menus, you’ll see a new menu for “Progress Bars” which is what you’ll use to add and manage progress bars. There’s also an area here for settings, but honestly if you never touch them, things will work fine.
After configuring a progress bar, insert it anywhere you’d like with shortcode.
<ul>
<li>Simple example: <code>[progress id=32]</code></li>
<li>Race multiple bars: <code>[progress id=32,35,54]</code></li>
<li>Set the bar’s width: <code>[progress ids=12,33 width="25%"]</code></li>
<li>Set the height of the bar `[progress ids=12 height=”50px”]</li>
<li>Align Center: <code>[progress ids=4 width="50%" class="aligncenter"]</code></li>
</ul>
Note that “id” and “ids” are interchangeable
Or use the widget which allows you to pick bars to display

<h3>Why Use WBD Progress Bar?</h3>
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.

<li>Run <code>npm install</code> to install dependencies.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm run build</code> to generate the production <code>build/</code> directory.</li>
<li>Run <code>npm start</code> to start the development watcher with live rebuild.</li>
</ol>
The only build dependency is <code>@wordpress/scripts</code> (see <code>package.json</code>).
<h3>How To Use</h3>
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:
<ul>
<li>Single Bar — A classic horizontal progress bar. Best for individual skills, project completion, or goal tracking.</li>
<li>Number Counter — An animated number that counts up on scroll. Great for statistics pages (“500+ clients”, “$1M+ revenue”).</li>
<li>Circular / Radial — A circular SVG ring progress indicator. Perfect for dashboards or visual KPI displays.</li>
<li>Group / Skills Section — Multiple bars stacked together. Ideal for resume skills sections or comparison lists.</li>
</ul>
Step 3 — Apply a Template (Optional)
Open the Template Styles panel and click any of the 10 preset templates to instantly apply a complete color scheme and style. You can fine-tune colors individually after applying a template.
Step 4 — Customize Settings
Depending on your selected mode, configure the following panels:
<ul>
<li>Progress Settings — Set percentage, height, radius, label text, label position, and percentage position.</li>
<li>Animation — Choose animation type (ease, bounce, elastic), set duration, and enable scroll-triggered animation.</li>
<li>Milestone & Tooltip — Add a milestone marker at any percentage point with a custom label. Enable hover tooltip for additional info.</li>
<li>Typography — Set font family and font size for the label and percentage text independently.</li>
<li>Color Settings — Set fill color, track color, label color, and percentage text color. Enable gradient fill to use two colors.</li>
</ul>
Step 5 — Using the Number Counter
Switch to Number Counter mode. Set:
<ul>
<li>Target Number — The final value to count up to (e.g. 1500).</li>
<li>Prefix — Text before the number (e.g. <code>$</code>).</li>
<li>Suffix — Text after the number (e.g. <code>+</code> or <code>%</code>).</li>
<li>Label — A description shown below the number (e.g. “Happy Clients”).</li>
<li>Show Progress Bar Below — Toggle to add a bar underneath the counter.</li>
</ul>
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:
<ol>
<li>Each bar item has its own Label, Percentage, and Bar Color.</li>
<li>Click + Add Bar to add more items (no limit).</li>
<li>Click ✕ to remove any item.</li>
<li>Set Label Position — Above bar (with optional percentage on the same line) or Inline row.</li>
<li>Set Percentage Position — Inside bar / Outside right / Same line as label.</li>
<li>Adjust Gap Between Bars and Inline Gap sliders to control spacing.</li>
</ol>
Step 7 — Using Circular / Radial Mode
Switch to Circular / Radial mode. In the sidebar:
<ol>
<li>Choose one of the 10 circular themes by clicking the theme thumbnail.</li>
<li>Adjust Size (80–300px) and Stroke Width (3–20px).</li>
<li>Set the Progress Percentage.</li>
<li>Toggle Show Label Below to display a text label under the ring.</li>
<li>Fine-tune Stroke Color, Track Color, and Center Text Color individually.</li>
</ol>
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.
