TOC Block Plugin for WordPress

The TOC Block Plugin for WordPress provides a way to add a table of contents block to individual posts and pages within the WordPress platform. It is designed for users who want to improve content navigation by allowing readers to quickly access different sections of a post or page. The plugin is compatible with both the Gutenberg and Classic WordPress editors, and it can be activated on any WordPress site without requiring theme modifications.

This plugin automatically scans headings from H2 to H6 within the content and generates a nested, clickable table of contents. If headings do not already have IDs, the plugin creates SEO-friendly IDs using the same sanitize_title() function that WordPress employs for slugs. It does not overwrite existing heading IDs, ensuring compatibility with content that already includes them. The table of contents is built in real time as users edit their content, and it updates dynamically with changes. The output uses standard HTML lists, which helps maintain compatibility with a wide range of WordPress themes.

Users can insert the TOC Block anywhere in their post or page using the editor. The plugin processes the final rendered HTML, so it works with both the Gutenberg and Classic editors. It is intended for use on single posts and pages, not on archive or category listings. The tool is lightweight, server-side generated, and requires no configuration, making it accessible for users seeking a straightforward solution for section linking and navigation within their content.

The TOC Block Plugin for WordPress is available at no cost, as indicated by its listed price of zero. Installation can be done by uploading the plugin files to the appropriate WordPress directory or by installing directly from the WordPress plugin directory. The tool is positioned as a solution for adding tables of contents, generating heading IDs, and enabling internal section links in WordPress content.
