Hi @wslizgiem,

Thank you for contacting me about this.

Can you add a link or send me a link to a post you are having trouble with, and include what you filled in at ‘Stick the bar to this element’, so I can take a look? It is not a problem I have heard before, so it’s probably something specific. Maybe an element that is present on pages but not on posts, depending on whether you’re admin etc. However, it should default to displaying at the top so that is definitely weird. I would be more than happy to take a look at it.

Kind regards,
Joeri

Hi Marius, thank you for contacting me about this, as I messaged you it would take me a little time to do this as I was in the middle of launching an e-commerce site… But it’s fixed now, I committed a new version (1.3.3) to WordPress just now which should appear in your dashboard soon. As a sidenote you probably know you should not show notices on a production environment. Anyway, my IDE was complaining about this as well, but I just didn’t notice it, thank you again for pointing it out! Let me know if there is anything else. Please enjoy the plugin!

Kind regards,
Joeri

Hi Agnes, thank you so much for contacting me. I feel silly for not even being aware of the dark mode… I will update the plugin for this soon. In the mean time, if you can add the following css to your site that would probably solve the problem immediately:

html.wp-dark-mode-active #ruigehond006_bar {
    background-color: #007cba !important;
}

Code is tested in browser and works here. You can probably add the css rule to your theme in the settings somewhere, often Customize->add css, or a similar option.
Please let me know if this works for you now.
Anyway I will add this in the next update.

Hi panchorigail, I think the functionality you were asking about is now part of the plugin, I assume this solves your issue and therefore I will mark this as resolved. Please start a new support thread or comment here if this is not correct.
Kind regards,
Joeri

Wow, thank you so much for the review as well ??

On a separate note, lazyload does indeed affect the bar, because the length of the article changes (relatively to the page). That is not fixed in this version, because I have to do some more research to see how that could be fixed in a satisfying way.

Hi Bawva, thanks for the extra information. I think I solved it, but it was slightly difficult to test with my own installation. There is a new version of the plugin available (1.2.4), if you install it, it will probably display the bar correctly on your website. Can you let me know how it turns out for you?
Good luck with your website, it has some cool contents ??
Kind regards,
Joeri

Hi Panchorigail, I’ve update the plugin and included your request. You can now simply uncheck all the post types on the settings page, so it won’t display anywhere. But on an individual post (or page) you will see a “WP Reading Progress” option bar below the text of the post, there you can check the “display reading progress bar” checkbox and update your post, the progress bar will then display on that specific post. That way you can determine for each post specifically if you want to display the bar.
Does this solve your issue?
Kind regards,
Joeri

Hi Bawva, thank you for the compliment ?? I will update this thread when it’s done! Probably later this week.

– original comment deleted – found the culprit, looking for a fix now.

Hi Bawva, thanks for getting in touch with me. I looked at your page, it’s weird because the plugin should detect your actual content automatically and use only the post text to calculate reading progress.
Can you check on the settings page (Settings->WP Reading Progress) if you maybe checked the ‘use whole page to calculate reading progress’ checkbox? It should be left empty for the plugin to use the actual height. That is the only explanation I can think of at this moment, please let me know, I will investigate further if unchecking doesn’t help.
Kind regards, Joeri

Hi panchorigail, can you send me a link to the page you want it on? So I can inspect your website? You say: I cant seem to make it happen, what do you use to add / change css to your site?

Hello panchorigail, no there is not. It’s a good suggestion however, will look into that in the coming weeks. Sorry. You might be able to solve it with css though a bit hackishly, by setting the bar to display: none except for the specific page you want it on. Usually the page outputs its id as a class in the body.
So it would look like this (untested):

.ruigehond006 {
    display: none;
}
.page-id-123 .ruigehond006 {
    display: block;
}

(Or .postid-123 or however your targeted page uniquely identifies itself.)
Hope this helps for now.

Thank you for informing me of the bug so I could fix it and learn a little bit. ?? I can’t really read your site but the subjects / articles seem cool. Good luck and keep it up!

A new version (1.2.3) is now available. Please let me know if this does not fix your issue.
