<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

<p><a href="https://wpjoli.com/docs/joli-table-of-contents/" title="Documentation for Joli Table Of Contents" rel="nofollow ugc">Documentation</a></p>
<h3>⭐HIGHLIGHTS</h3>
<h3>🆕 GUTENBERG BLOCK</h3>
<p>Since v2, you can now use the block to insert a table of contents.<br />
The block lets you easily <strong>HIDE or EDIT</strong> specific headings.<br />
In addition, <strong>the block picks up on headings that would be generated by a third party shortcode or block</strong> but invisible in the actual editor.<br />
In the PRO version, you can override any setting for a specific block from the block settings panel.</p>
<h3>🚀 PERFORMANCE ORIENTED</h3>
<p>Joli Table of contents uses a combination of minified CSS and Javascript to run at maximum speed.<br />
It also does not depend on jQuery to improve performance.</p>
<h3>🧠 SUPERIOR HEADING PROCESSING</h3>
<p>Unlike its competitors, Joli Table of Content picks up on headings hidden behind third-party shortcodes and blocks. This means that it will show the headings that do not directly appear in the editor, but are still present in the front-end !</p>
<h3>🖌 THE MOST CUSTOMIZABLE TABLE OF CONTENTS PLUGIN</h3>
<p>Joli table of contents has been designed to really match your expectations.<br />
Every single part of the table of contents is highly customizable, and uses a CSS variable approach to make it even more customizable.<br />
You can adjust a large array of settings including:<br />
* Margin<br />
* Padding<br />
* Border radius<br />
* Border<br />
* Colors<br />
* Fonts<br />
* and more…</p>
<h3>🔽 ICON OR TEXT TOGGLE</h3>
<p>Choose between a <strong>Text toggle</strong> for a more classic look OR an <strong>Icon toggle</strong> for a more modern approach.</p>
<h3>📐 CUSTOM THEME READY</h3>
<p>Joli Table of contents now bundles a custom theme engine, that lets you <a href="https://wpjoli.com/docs/joli-table-of-contents/customizing/create-my-own-theme/" title="How to create your own theme for Joli Table of contents" rel="nofollow ugc">create your own theme</a>.<br />
There is a lot of CSS variables that you can override or/and create more complex styles.</p>
<h3>🚀 SHOW ONLY A FEW HEADINGS UPON PAGE LOAD (PARTIAL FOLD)  [PRO]</h3>
<p>Improve your page UX with the Partial Fold on load option.<br />
Only show the first few headings upon page load with a “View more” button to expand the table of contents fully.</p>
<h3>📑 ADVANCED AUTO-INSERT RULES [PRO]</h3>
<p>Auto-insert supports multiple additional rules:<br />
* Post type<br />
* Post title<br />
* Post ID</p>
<p>You can also EXCLUDE specific posts by Post title or Post ID</p>
<h3>🎛 DIFFERENT SETTINGS PER POST TYPE [PRO]</h3>
<p>Create different settings per post type for maximum flexibility.<br />
For example you can use Theme 1 for “post” post type, and use Theme 2 for the “page” post types.<br />
Good news is every single setting can be set differently per post type, not just themes !<br />
This also works with custom post types.</p>
<h3>✅ FLOATING TABLE OF CONTENTS [PRO]</h3>
<p>The floating table of contents widget is optionally displayed as the user scrolls the page. It remains hover your content and now features optional navigation buttons and advanced customization !</p>
<h3>✅ SLIDE OUT TABLE OF CONTENTS [PRO]</h3>

<p>This new widget shows a fixed progress bar over the content and indicates the percentage of advancement throughout the reading.</p>
