Progress Tracker

Description

Allow your users/students to keep track of their progression in your site. They can click a ‘Completed’ button on pages where tracking is activated which gives them a visual guide when thry return to the site as to where they left off. Also provides handy ‘Next’ and ‘Back’ buttons within a set of sub pages (think topic pages), as well as a ‘quick jump’ list so they can quickly visit any page in that topic. All of this can be customised.

How to Use
– When creating a new page or editing an existing one, tick the ‘Enable tracking’ option in the Page attributes settings.
– Any sub pages created with this as a parent will be tracked. A mini menu indicating current progression is shown at the top of the parent page.
– This only works for logged in users!

Plugin Options
– Location of the next / back buttons (top or bottom)
– Location of jump menu (top or bottom or not shown)
– Change the button text
– Change the button image
– Widget showing progress or sub pages mini menu

This too can be deployed as task completion module for organization. Imagine u have 20 staff and you need to task them all with a single task, so instead of relying on expensive project management plugin u use this and everyone can mark if they have completed a task accordingly. Also good if you are a lecturer and want every single student to read a freaking topic before you give them a quiz because you know you always give answer in these topics and hope they score but they dont because they lazy af. Anyway, more people should use this.

Surprised this doesn’t have a lot more users because it performs a very useful function in giving people a sense of accomplishment. Especially useful if you write educational material that isn’t necessarily part of a course, or if you want to break up a longer article into sections so people don’t give up on it. Mostly just writing this review to thank the developers.

This plugin does exactly what I need it to do, so I’m giving 5 stars for that. Thanks guys for putting in the effort! A few constructive criticisms: I wish all developers would integrate more tightly with the WP admin UI It would be nice to use font icons instead of images (e.g. FontAwesome) It would be nice to have a little more flexibility on the parent page. Currently, links are forced into a 50/50 layout. I would prefer a single column list, and perhaps the option to show an excerpt Some depreciated HTML being used. e.g. should be If a donation would help towards getting these features included, please let me know where I can do that 🙂
