About KKProgressbar2 Free
From the official readme · v1.1.4.2Description
Plugin shows/indicates progress that has been made on projects or articles.
KKProgressbar 2 is a totally new uncover of my plugin. This plugin allows you to show the progress made on your projects. The new version (2.x) segregates projects and tasks so that you can see which tasks need to be completed to finish a project. In premium version the number of projects and tasks that can be added is unlimited. Users of the old plugin (1.1.x Free and 1.3.x Premium) do not need to be worried as I took care of them as well. New plugin will detect his older friend and convert the data to the new version under the condition that user allows for it.
Options in that version are fairly limited as compared to professional version, however, plugin has the same possibilities as version 1.1.3 with some new updates.
Please find below all the options that you can get by purchasing professional version:
-
Unlimited number of projects that can be added
-
Much more advanced option of adjusting the display of progressbar to your personal needs
-
Free-of-charge support
-
Free and frequent updates providing new options to the plugin.
If you are willing to support my work or you are looking for more options, feel free to purchase professional version of the plugin.

Installation
- Unpack files from the patch you have purchased.
- Copy folder ‘kkprogress’ to a folder on your own server. To do it you might want to use programs meant for establishing connection with FTP server (personally, I would recommend FileZilla program. You can find guide on how to use it here). All the data needed for establishing connection with FTP server should go together with a purchased server.
- Next, log in to the administrative panel of your blog.
- Go to the tab called ‘Plugins’.
- Find plug-in called ‘KK Progressbar’ and click on ‘Activate’
- On the left hand side, ‘KK Progressbar’ tab should appear. From that tab, you can manage your plug-in.
