Does it works on WordPress network/multisite?

Sorry but this plugin doesn’t supports network/multisite installation in it’s free/public version.
It will be fixed on version 2.0. Contact me if you want to help or ask for more informations.

Reliable, lightwave reading progress bar

Well coded reading progress bar, the best I've tried. The only thing I don't like is the custom position making the bar sticking on the bottom of an element instead of just below it.

Awesome plugin!

Have run Reading Progressbar for over a year. Works <span style="text-decoration: underline;">flawlessly</span> on any website I've installed it on. Thanks Jb!

Worked straight out of the box for my custom theme (coded by 3rd party). Easy plugin configuration with a great many finetuning options. Plus it recognises all post types (instead of only page + post); fantastic with LearnDash for example.
