<p>NOTE: This plugin is not tested with Gutenberg, and we have no near-term plans to do so. If using WP > 5.0, use the Classic Editor if there are problems.</p>
<p>NOTE: This plugin was originally designed to only lock pages, and only later added custom post type functionality. Hence the name, and sometimes the terminology will say “pages” when it means “any post type”.</p>
<p>Sometimes some pages or other posts are too important to allow them to be casually moved about or deleted by site editors. An editor may think nothing of renaming a page’s slug, or deleting a page to replace it with something similar, perhaps unaware of effects on SEO. Also, certain pages might be essential to keep in place because of a site’s structure, or because of aspects of a custom theme.</p>
<p>This plugin lets administrators “lock” any or all pages, and any post of any post type. “Locking” here basically means preventing non-admins from:</p>
<ul>
<li>Editing the item’s slug</li>
<li>Changing the item’s parent</li>
<li>Changing the item’s template</li>
<li>Deleting the item</li>
<li>Changing the item’s status</li>
<li>Changing the item’s password protection</li>
</ul>
<p>Locking is implemented by preventing the actual database update being performed as well as, where possible, having the interface element for that field removed. Where possible interface elements are removed via WP filters on the server; otherwise, jQuery is used on the client.</p>
<p>NOTE: Currently, I’ve been unable to get this working with the Quick Edit functionality. As a stop-gap measure, which is only in place because it seems to be better than nothing, the Quick Edit link is removed for users who can’t edit locked pages. I know, it’s not great. But until I work out how to selectively block Quick Editing, I’m assuming a locked page should be locked. Users can always edit the other fields via the normal edit page.</p>
<p>Go to GitHub for <a href="https://github.com/gyrus/Lock-Pages" rel="nofollow ugc">development code</a> and <a href="https://github.com/gyrus/Lock-Pages/issues" rel="nofollow ugc">issue tracking</a>.</p>
<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Quick Edit presents problems. I’ve worked out how to create hidden fields in the Quick Edit box, and to put the values in the hidden div, but I can’t work out how to dynamically populate the fields with the values, so the old values can be used if necessary on saving. For now Quick Edit is blocked for users who can’t edit locked pages.</li>
<li>Although I’ve fixed the lock_parent function so it allows uploaded files to be attached to a locked page, it still prevents media already in the library from being attached when inserted.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Ideas</h3>
<ul>
<li>Include the locking checkbox for admins in the Quick Edit form.</li>
<li>On the settings screen, use a drop-down for selecting which capability is needed for editing locked page elements.</li>
<li>Implement a system to deal with descendants, e.g. an option to lock all descendants of a locked page or not.</li>
</ul>


Lock Pages

Lock Pages prevents specified pages (or all pages), posts, or custom post types from having their slug, parent, status or password edited, or from bei …

<p>A powerful yet user friendly plugin that automatically creates a context specific index or table of contents (TOC) for long pages (and custom post types).  More than just a table of contents plugin, this plugin can also output a sitemap listing pages and/or categories across your entire site.</p>
<p>Built from the ground up and with Wikipedia in mind, the table of contents by default appears before the first heading on a page.  This allows the author to insert lead-in content that may summarise or introduce the rest of the page.  It also uses a unique numbering scheme that doesn’t get lost through CSS differences across themes.</p>
<p>This plugin is a great companion for content rich sites such as content management system oriented configurations.  That said, bloggers also have the same benefits when writing long structured articles.</p>
<p>Includes an administration options panel where you can customise settings like display position, define the minimum number of headings before an index is displayed, other appearance, and more.  For power users, expand the advanced options to further tweak its behaviour – eg: exclude undesired heading levels like h5 and h6 from being included; disable the output of the included CSS file; adjust the top offset and more.  Using shortcodes, you can override default behaviour such as special exclusions on a specific page or even to hide the table of contents altogether.</p>
<p>Prefer to include the index in the sidebar?  Go to Appearance > Widgets and drag the TOC+ to your desired sidebar and position.</p>
<p>Custom post types are supported, however, auto insertion works only when the_content() has been used by the custom post type.  Each post type will appear in the options panel, so enable the ones you want.</p>

<h3>Shortcodes</h3>
<p>The plugin was designed to be as seamless and painfree as possible and did not require you to insert a shortcode for operation.  However, using the shortcode allows you to fully control the position of the table of contents within your page.  The following shortcodes are available with this plugin.</p>
<p>When attributes are left out for the shortcodes below, they will fallback to the settings you defined under Settings > TOC+.  The following are detailed in the help tab.</p>
<h4>[toc]</h4>
<p>Lets you generate the table of contents at the preferred position.  Useful for sites that only require a TOC on a small handful of pages.  Supports the following attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li>“label”: text, title of the table of contents</li>
<li>“no_label”: true/false, shows or hides the title</li>
<li>“wrapping”: text, either “left” or “right”</li>
<li>“heading_levels”: numbers, this lets you select the heading levels you want included in the table of contents.  Separate multiple levels with a comma.  Example: include headings 3, 4 and 5 but exclude the others with <code>heading_levels="3,4,5"</code></li>
<li>“class”: text, enter CSS classes to be added to the container. Separate multiple classes with a space.</li>
<li>“start”: number, show when this number of headings are present in the content.</li>
</ul>
<h4>[no_toc]</h4>
<p>Allows you to disable the table of contents for the current post, page, or custom post type.</p>
<h4>[sitemap]</h4>
<p>Produces a listing of all pages and categories for your site. You can use this on any post, page or even in a text widget.  Note that this will not include an index of posts so use sitemap_posts if you need this listing.</p>
<h4>[sitemap_pages]</h4>
<p>Lets you print out a listing of only pages. The following attributes are accepted:</p>
<ul>
<li>“heading”: number between 1 and 6, defines which html heading to use</li>
<li>“label”: text, title of the list</li>
<li>“no_label”: true/false, shows or hides the list heading</li>
<li>“exclude”: IDs of the pages or categories you wish to exclude</li>
<li>“exclude_tree”: ID of the page or category you wish to exclude including its all descendants</li>
<li>“child_of”: “current” or page ID of the parent page. Defaults to 0 which includes all pages.</li>
</ul>
<h4>[sitemap_categories]</h4>
<p>Same as <code>[sitemap_pages]</code> but for categories.</p>
<h4>[sitemap_posts]</h4>
<p>This lets you print out an index of all published posts on your site.  By default, posts are listed in alphabetical order grouped by their first letters.  The following attributes are accepted:</p>
<ul>
<li>“order”: text, either ASC or DESC</li>
<li>“orderby”: text, popular options include “title”, “date”, “ID”, and “rand”. See <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Order_.26_Orderby_Parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">WP_Query</a> for a list.</li>
<li>“separate”: true/false (defaults to true), does not separate the lists by first letter when set to false.</li>
</ul>
<p>Use the following CSS classes to customise the appearance of your listing:</p>
<ul>
<li>toc_sitemap_posts_section</li>
<li>toc_sitemap_posts_letter</li>
<li>toc_sitemap_posts_list</li>
</ul>

Table of Contents Plus


The plugin is very good and useful (thanks dear Mike), but since update to 2302, it stopped working and the plugin settings have been reset.



WordPress version 6.2



LiteSpeed cache version 5.3.3


Stop working since the last update


I wonder why TOC+ settings are often restored by default, causing SEO issues. Furthermore, the plugin does not seem compatible with multilingual websites, so I may need to switch to a better solution. It's a pity since the basics of the plugin were great.


Not WPML compatible and settings get erased for no reason


TOC is not generated. Dunnu why, don't care.


does not work

A powerful yet user friendly plugin that automatically creates a table of contents. Can also output a sitemap listing all pages and categories.
