I had not considered the impact in a RTL environment, but I appreciate you bringing it forward!

Having the progress bar fill from left to right: do you know if that would still be the case for most languages that read right to left, or is it a design decision for your particular site?

If you wrap the output bar in a container and specify the direction is ltr, you can get the bar to behave like the English version

<div dir="ltr"> [progress bar shortcode] </div>

If it’s determined that a left to right progress bar is common even in languages that read right to left, I’ll add this to the core plugin. If not, there’s a lot more work that would need to be done to support full RTL.

Setting arbitrary text on top of the bar using the widget or shortcode isn’t supported and probably won’t ever be. Dealing with overflow text would be an issue, and it’s really just designed to show the actual progress textually (which is better for SEO and screen readers when accompanied with text that explains what the progress is toward)

That said, it’s probably not impossible to overlay the widget title with a bit of clever CSS absolute positioning or even javascript replacement…

The newest version of the plugin’s widget allows for both a widget title and a description below the bar if that helps.

Thanks for the kudos though, I’m glad it’s working out for you!

I’ve not used that plugin, but if it allows you to get a specific integer or count, you can set up one of my progress bars and then use the tdd_pb_calculated_percentage filter to adjust the value as described in the FAQ.

I don’t plan on integrating native support for other plugins.

<?php
        add_filter( 'tdd_pb_calculated_percentage', 'change_percentage', 10, 2 );
        function change_percentage($percentage, $id){
            //Only apply to post (bar) ID 120, if it isn't 120, just return
            if ($id != 120)
                return $percentage;

            $newpercentage = $percentage_calculated_from_plugin
            return $newpercentage;
        }
    ?>

I should be able to accommodate that in the next release. Make it behave similar to the text widget.
