Table of Contents WordPress Plugin for easier organization and navigation
Automatically create a Table of Contents, style it and insert in your pages or posts or use it as a floating site widget.
The powerful yet user friendly Table of Contents plugin automatically generates a navigation table or table of contents based on WordPress posts, WordPress pages, and custom post types for users by parsing through the website’s contents for headers.
Adding Comprehensive Table of Contents
|
The site Admin can pick the table of contents title or position, including adding a sidebar or a heading. This easy WordPress TOC plugin helps the admin to insert a TOC anywhere within the post content to display the navigation section with a simple shortcode. By default, it is shown on the top part of each post unless the shortcode is used to move it to a different location The index helps the reader navigate the page or site in much the same way as the contents box on Wikipedia, highlighting critical sections of the site in a clear fashion, or offering an overview of the contents at a glance. |

Generating the Table of Contents
Settings section used to Define which Tags to Use for Generating the TOC and How to Style each Level |
The table is customizable and it is easy to define the look and shape of the navigation section added to each post. Building a versatile table of Contents is done automatically by specifying which HTML elements in the post content should be used for the navigation sections. The different sections can be generated based on any tag or CSS class included in the page or post content. For example, heading levels such as H1 / H2 / H3 or a div/span with a specific class. |
Compatible With Divi, Elementor and Gutemberg
|
The Table of Contents plugin works with most major themes, such as Genesis Framework, Divi, Avada, Enfold, Ultra, Elementor, Beaver, Visual Composer and Themify. It's also 100% compatible with Gutemberg, WordPress' own block builder. This makes it really easy to create table of contents in WordPress. |

Customer Reviews for the TOC WordPress Plugin
| Great Service and Quality Plugin
I was looking for a table of contents plugin that was smart enough to accommodate a variety of knowledge base style posts and this one fit the bill. There were a few technical glitches in the first try, but the support team was exceptionally responsive and listened and acted very quickly to my needs. In addition to the basic functionality, it also provides great styling options and the ability to be used in the body of the text as well as in widget areas. I would recommend going for the premium version as it offers more functionality for a reasonable price. |

The best table of content WordPress Plugin. Extremely highly customizable. The only one that recognizes pagination. Also, the technical support team is very efficient and knowledgeable. After researching for months, CM table of contents plugin was the solution. I highly recommend it to anyone who has complicated post structure or long posts and wants a perfect table of contents plugin. |

- a Smart plugin!
This is a simple, but powerful and smart plugin! Unlike the others, they are too simple and not useful as this one. It detects the headers by itself, and make it anywhere as we wanted!
However, multilingual supported will be much appreciated. I have a 3 languages site, and using Polylang. If we could change the text of “The Table of Content” in different language, it will be much much appreciated.!
