## Description

Easy Reading Progress Bar adds a sleek, customizable progress bar to your single
post pages, providing readers with a visual indicator of their progress as they 
scroll through an article. It’s designed to be feather-light, incredibly fast, and
compatible with the vast majority of WordPress themes, including modern Block Themes
and popular classic themes.

**Key Features:**

 * **Extremely Lightweight:** No extra CSS or JavaScript files loaded. All code 
   is inlined and optimized for performance.
 * **Highly Compatible:** Works seamlessly with many themes.
 * **Customizable:** Easily change the progress bar’s color and position (top or
   bottom of the page) from a simple settings page.
 * **Dependency-Free:** The frontend script does not rely on jQuery, ensuring it
   won’t conflict with other plugins or slow down your site.
 * **Developer Friendly:** Includes a filter (`erpb_bar_height`) to programmatically
   change the bar’s height.

_This plugin was created with ❤️ by [Mushlih Almubarak](https://github.com/mushlih-almubarak)

## FAQ

### Will this plugin slow down my site?

Absolutely not. Performance is a core feature. The plugin only loads its tiny, optimized
code on single post pages and does not enqueue any extra CSS or JS files, keeping
your site fast.

### Does this work with my theme?

Yes, most likely! The plugin was built for high compatibility. It intelligently 
detects the main content area in classic and modern block themes, and a wide range
of other theme structures.

### Can I change the height of the bar?

Yes. While there is no setting for it in the settings page to keep things simple,
developers can use a WordPress filter to change the height. The default is 7px.

Example code to add to your theme’s `functions.php` file to change the height to
10px:
 add_filter( ‘erpb_bar_height’, function() { return ’10’; } );
