Great, thanks @benbodhi!

Dear Giorgos,

just checking back: You meant to include this with one of your next updates, but as far as I see it’s not implemented, yet.

I’d love to be able to replace the ‘if the spinner keeps loading forever…’ text with custom wording, just like it’s possible with the ‘read more’ text.

I can do so for the “Loading …” text, but not the spinner message.

It would be great to be able to customize that without editing code.

Thanks a lot and all the best
Chris

Hi @brianmcculloh,

Oddly enough, I did get an alert with your answer. So this forum seems to send emails. Maybe they just end up in your spam folder (which is where I found mine)?

Anyway, thanks for taking care!

My main intention is to have the progress bar look the same on mobile and desktop versions. of Divi (Elegant themes).

The z-index variant would just place the the progress bar accross my menu, so that’s not what I’m looking for.

So the second option would be great – an offset that allows the progress bar to be displayed right below the desktop version’s fixed header, whatever its height may be.

Alternatively, I would simply set the height of the progress bar to a value that is just a bit larger than the menu’s height, but for the desktop version only.

You would probably need to include variables for breakpoints to achieve that consistently accross different theme, wouldn’t you?

Thanks very much and all the best
Christian

Great, thank you!

One more cosmetical issue that I just noticed:

If I use the ‘bottom right’ position, it would in my opinion look better to have a line break before the ‘read more’ section. Otherwise, it leaves a bit of a crowded/stuffed impression.

Also, it would be nice to find the names of the CSS elements for custom formatting somewhere in the documentation. I’ve found them anyway using inspector, but it would be a nice service.

The best option would of course be to be able to specify the following right inside of the plugin:

– background and shadow colors
– text color, font, and size of main section
– text color, font, and size of ‘read more’ section
– button color, font, and text size
– button hover color

I assume these would be the most requested elements for tweaking.

Thanks again for your great work, I really appreciate finding so many useful features in one plugin. Hence the ‘swiss army knife’ reference.

All the best from Germany

Yay, found one! ??

The fix works fine (I just replaced the single PHP file to keep all my other settings).

Thanks for the quick reaction, Giorgos!

There’s one more thing that bugs me, although it’s not a bug: I’d love to be able to replace the ‘if the spinner keeps loading forever…’ text with custom wording, just like it’s possible with the ‘read more’ text.

Maybe you can include this in a future update?

Thanks a lot and all the best

Thanks Brian,

quick and easy setup, nice look and feel, excellent work!

There are two issues, though, both concerning visibility:

a) It would be great to have different width options for mobile vs desktop screens OR secure detection of a fixed header. At the moment, the progress bar is hidden under my fixed desktop menu header (Divi theme) until I set its width to > 70 px, which looks ridiculous on a smartphone. It would be great if I could set it to 5px and have it display equally on both devices, or if I could alternatively choose to set it to 5px for mobile and 75px for desktops to achieve the same desired result.

b) It would be great to be able to not just deactivate the opacity switch but also to have the non opaque color as a standard. If I flag the ‘mute’ toggle right now it leads to the progress bar being displayed with .5 opacity. I’ve changed as follows, but it would be nice to have that option on the settings page, too:

#wtr-progress {opacity: 1!important;}

Thanks for considering these, I appreciate it!

I’ve experienced the same issue. The solution is to navigate to performance -> database cache -> never cache the following pages, then enter

/yourdirectory/*

So if your directory is situated here:
https://www.example.com/folders…..sdirectory

Your entry in performance -> database cache -> never cache the following pages would be:
/folders/businessdirectory/*

Hope that works for you!

Thanks @abelthomas for pointing me towards the database cache here:
