<li>Filter posts by tag, via an inclusion or exclusion list of tags</li>

</ul>
<h3>Shortcode Usage</h3>
<p>The shortcode to use in your posts or pages is:</p>
<p>[fu_postlist]</p>
<p>By default, this will query all posts and sort by post title.</p>
<p>Below are some examples of how each of the parameters can be used:</p>
<h3>List only posts that match the search keyword ‘stuff’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist search=’stuff’]</p>
<h3>List only posts that match the search keyword ‘stuff’ but don’t have the keyword ‘rubbish’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist search=’stuff -rubbish’]</p>
<h3>List only posts within the single category ‘Spiders’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist cat=’Spiders’]</p>
<p>A single category can be listed by name or by id.</p>
<h3>List posts within the categories Spiders or Dogs</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist cat=’Spiders,Dogs’]</p>
<h3>List posts within the categories Spiders and Dogs</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist cat=’Spiders+Dogs’]</p>
<h3>List posts not within the categories 10 or 12</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist notcat=’10,12’]</p>
<p>Categories to exclude must be listed as a comma-separated list of id’s.</p>
<h3>List posts with either the tags ‘rain’ or ‘shine’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist tag=’rain,shine’]</p>
<h3>List posts with both the tags ‘heavy’ and ‘metal’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist tag=’heavy+metal’]</p>
<h3>List posts without the tag ‘trouble’</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist nottag=’trouble’]</p>
<h3>Limit the number of posts listed to 10</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist maxposts=10]</p>
<p>A value of -1 or the parameter omitted entirely means all.</p>
<h3>Group posts by category. The category name will be inserted as a subheading at the start of the group</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist groupby=cat]</p>
<h3>Group posts by tag</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist groupby=tag]</p>
<h3>Order posts by post title (default behavior)</h3>
<p>[fu_postlist orderby=’title’]<br />
However, you may order by ‘ID’, ‘author’, ‘name’ (post slug), ‘date’, ‘rand’ etc.</p>
<p>Of course, you can mix and match many of these parameters to your heart’s content.</p>

<p><strong>Joli Table Of Contents</strong> is the most customizable and performance-focused table of contents plugin for WordPress. It works out of the box for beginners — thanks to a built-in <strong>Onboarding Wizard</strong> — and offers deep control for advanced users and developers.</p>
<p>Easily insert a table of contents into all your posts with either the <strong>Auto-insert</strong>, the Gutenberg <strong>Block</strong>, or the <strong>Shortcode</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://wpjoli.com/docs/joli-table-of-contents/" title="Joli Table Of Contents Documentation" rel="nofollow ugc">📖 Documentation</a> | <a href="https://wpjoli.com/joli-table-of-contents/" title="Joli Table Of Contents Pro" rel="nofollow ugc">⭐ Get PRO</a></p>
<h3>🚀 Why Joli Table Of Contents?</h3>
<h3>✅ Beginner-Friendly Onboarding Wizard</h3>
<p>After activation, a <strong>step-by-step setup wizard</strong> walks you through the most important settings — no configuration headaches, no reading documentation. You’ll have a working, good-looking TOC in minutes.</p>
<h3>🎨 Instant Customization with the Color Palette System</h3>
<p>The new <strong>Color Palette</strong> makes customization effortless. Set just the <strong>Accent color</strong> and it automatically propagates across your entire TOC — that’s 90% of the visual work done in a single click. Fine-tune everything else at your own pace.</p>
<h3>🧠 Smart Heading Detection</h3>
<p>Joli Table Of Contents accurately detects headings from <strong>third-party shortcodes and blocks</strong> that don’t appear directly in the editor but are rendered on the front end. Since v3, you can now choose between <strong>Content</strong> scope (default — prevents unwanted headings from appearing) and <strong>Extended</strong> scope for advanced use cases.</p>
<h3>🆕 Gutenberg Block with Inline Editing</h3>
<p>Use the dedicated <strong>Gutenberg Block</strong> to insert a table of contents anywhere in your post. The block lets you <strong>hide or edit specific headings</strong> inline — no settings page needed.</p>
<h3>⚡ Performance First</h3>
<p>No jQuery dependency. Minified CSS and JavaScript. Conditional style loading based on active settings — only the code you need is loaded. Built for fast websites.</p>
<h3>🔁 Migrate from Another TOC Plugin — Without Touching Your Content</h3>
<p>Already using <strong>Easy Table of Contents</strong>, <strong>LuckyWP Table of Contents</strong>, or another plugin? You can switch to Joli TOC <strong>without updating a single shortcode</strong> across your posts.</p>
<p>Use the built-in filter to map Joli TOC to your existing shortcode tag:</p>
<pre><code>add_filter('jolitoc_shortcode_tag', function(){ return 'toc'; });
</code></pre>
<p>This works with any custom tag, so your existing <code>[toc]</code> (or any other) shortcodes continue to work immediately after switching.</p>
