Reading Progress Bar Element

Encourage visitors to keep reading by showing how far they've scrolled through the page. This adds a progress bar that fills as they scroll, in a color and position you choose.

In the YOOtheme Builder, open the element picker and look for the Joomill Extensions group of elements. Go to YOOtheme > Layout > Footer to add this element to every page.
