The WIP (Work in Progress) Progress Bar is the plugin I wanted as an author for my website. The WIP-Progress Bar adds beautiful progress bars (AKA progress meters) via Widgets or by generating a shortcode. The plugin tracks word or page count goals, current word or page count, and calculates the progress by showing the completion percentage and displaying that with a very cool progress bar with multiple colors and other choices to choose from. The plugin also allows the writer to display a hyperlink, their book cover from the media library, and custom text along with the progress bar.
