Hi, I’m interested in your product but I would like to know if I use it on my WordPress website and I’ve got LearnDash, I would like the students to be able to see the scrub bar as they scroll down the distraction free section.

Q: "Your copy of Reading Indicator plugin is not activated"
Hi,
Could you help me with this error message? How do I activate the plugin?
