LuckyWP Table of Contents

It does what one expects it to do and offers tons of useful options if one wants to tweak something. Simply great!

Really nice


Tried many ToC plugins, this one is great because it looks clean, and correctly handles the default state whether it's opened or closed!


Great plugin!

This is a great plugin! Initially, I wasn't sure about installing a plugin that automatically installs table of contents on every posts, instead of selected the posts I want to show the TOC on. After using it, I came to the conclusion that:
1/ It's much better if you may uninstall the plugin, it won't require removing code from posts;
2/ The options ensure you will make TOC available on posts that realy need it. It's very well thought.

Great app

Creates SEO-friendly table of contents for your posts/pages. Works automatically or manually (via shortcode, Gutenberg block or widget).

<p>Add the <strong>Table of Contents Block</strong> anywhere in your Gutenberg editor. It scans H2–H6 headings in the post content and builds a nested, clickable table of contents. Links automatically work by adding IDs to headings.</p>
<p>No configuration needed. Works on single posts and pages (not archives or category listings).</p>
<ul>
<li>No theme editing required<br />
You can activate the plugin on any site.</li>
<li>Compatible with Gutenberg / Classic Editor<br />
It processes the final rendered HTML.</li>
<li>SEO-friendly<br />
IDs are based on sanitize_title(), the same function WP uses for slugs.</li>
<li>Works with headings that already have IDs<br />
It does not overwrite existing IDs.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Example:</strong><br />
– Structure Your Content – Write your post or page using semantic headings (H2, H3, etc.)—just like you normally would.<br />
– Insert the Table of Contents Block – Add the “Table of Contents Block” anywhere in your editor (e.g., right after the introduction).<br />
– Let It Work Automatically – The plugin scans your headings, builds a hierarchical, scroll-linked table of contents in real time, and updates dynamically as you edit.</p>
