Cr8vstacks Table of Contents

Cr8vstacks Table of Contents is a customizable WordPress plugin designed to add a table of contents to posts and pages, supporting improved navigation for long-form content. It offers four distinct layouts—Manuscript, Soft Editorial, Brutalist, and Minimalist—allowing users to tailor the appearance of the table of contents to match their site's style. The plugin includes a sticky scroll header that keeps navigation accessible as visitors move through the page, and it features a live-preview dashboard with desktop and mobile toggles for real-time customization.

Users can select from six color presets and adjust seventeen individual color controls, as well as modify typography settings. Per-post override controls are available in the Classic Editor, Gutenberg sidebar, Elementor Page Settings, and Quick Edit, enabling granular adjustments such as disabling the table of contents, changing its placement, or enabling the sticky header only on mobile devices. The plugin automatically parses heading levels (H2–H6) on each page load, generating stable anchor IDs and injecting the table of contents before the first heading or wherever a shortcode is placed. Active heading tracking with read and done states, a reading time estimate, scroll progress indicator, smooth scroll, back-to-top functionality, optional numbering, and accessible ARIA markup are among the additional features.

2 or higher. It operates with zero database footprint by filtering the DOM and does not rely on jQuery or remote font loading on the frontend. The plugin outputs crawlable heading anchors to support SEO-friendly page structures. Developers can customize target heading levels dynamically using provided filter hooks. Distribution is via ZIP archive as a standard WordPress plugin, and it is licensed under GPL v2 as open source software. The tool is free to use indefinitely, and installation is straightforward, requiring only a simple upload and activation process within WordPress.
