Description
The Progress Bar addon adds a visual bar to myCred that shows logged-in users how much remains to reach the next rank or acquire the next badge, automatically reading the points balance and already configured criteria in the base plugin. Customizable in colors and styles, the component serves to gamify member areas, student dashboards, and communities that reward engagement within WordPress.

How to Download the Progress Bar
The Progress Bar is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it via Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate. Remember that myCred must be installed and active for the addon to work, since the component reads the ranks and badges configured in it.
Designed for those working with gamification in WordPress via myCred, the Progress Bar closes a key gap: converting the points balance into a visual representation that motivates the user to keep interacting. In student dashboards, forum profiles, or community dashboards, the bar acts as a progress trigger and helps sustain the reward cycle of the base plugin.
