<p>WordPress <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_search_form/" rel="nofollow ugc">search form</a> associates <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/#associating-labels-implicitly" rel="nofollow ugc">label with search field implicitly</a>. This can cause issues with certain assistive technologies.</p>
<p>This plugin fixes the issue by <a href="https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/#associating-labels-explicitly" rel="nofollow ugc">associating the label explicitly</a>, thus effectively improving WordPress search form accessibility.</p>

Improving Search Form Accessibility

Improves search form accessibility by associating search field label explicitly instead of implicitly.

SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block

This is the simplest plugin which works perfectly what it is meant for.

Awesome Plugin

<p>I like the plugin a lot. It's simple. It works pretty well and has a few configurations but not too many. Thanks for it!<br />(I am using it to learn Wordpress blocks development, which coming from PHP I think it's quite a challenge. Blocks change the development weight from PHP to JS/React a lot!)</p>

Simple TOC it's just ... simple


Creating and maintaining a plugin requires a significant amount of effort and dedication. It is not a task that can be undertaken by everyone, as it requires an individual with a genuine interest and energy to deliver a product that evolves from being good enough to becoming a perfect product.



We encountered some challenges while using your plugin, but we were pleased to discover that the issue was addressed before we could even report it. We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your active development efforts, which have resulted in the release of version 6.0.2.


Lightweight, effective, actively-maintained


I tested 8-10 table of contents plugins for keyboard and screen reader accessibility and this plugin was by far the best. There was one issue with the accordion that caused a problem for screen reader users, so I opened a support forum thread and the developer released a fix within a few hours. Wow!



This plugin is easy to use, has great HTML markup, and it's refreshing to find a developer who takes accessibility seriously. I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Don't even look for another table of contents plugin.


Great plugin that prioritizes accessibility!


Simple, easy to style, to the point and most importantly – works in FSE templates out of the box. No annoying nags in the WP Admin. Thanks!


Works in FSE templates


This is an excellent plugin that easily adds table of contents in your posts / pages and it provides links to the relevant headings.



Does exactly what I want and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for an easy to use tale of contents block plugin.



Thanks so much for sharing.


Great plugin that works really well


Comparing this to the "Table Of Contents Block" by WPDeveloper, I prefer this one because:




It just works automatically.



It has less options, but just enough to do what you need.



It adds nothing to the frontend to cause bloat. No CSS, no JS. At least not right out of the box. Additional settings can be enabled that will add these, but it's nice that we have the option!




This is an example of what a well-written plugin should be.


Does the job perfectly, and adds no bloat

SEO-friendly Table of Contents Gutenberg block. No JavaScript and no CSS means faster loading.
