Time for your daily dose of Wordpress Wisdom! In today's tutorial I'll show you how to add and create a table of contents into a post on your Wordpress website. Having a table of contents in your article is a great way to show your readers what's to come as well as giving them a quick way to navigate directly to the part of your content they want to see.

Please feel free to share this video if you see any member asking a question about creating a table of contents and, as always, if you have any Wordpress questions you'd like to see me cover in an upcoming tutorial please send me a private message or leave a message directly on my profile.

See you next time!

Hi Eric, great tutorial.

I am using rankmath pro TOC, I have added it successfully but it adds "quick Links" (Footer) and "Leave a comment" too. How do I remove them.

In RankMath TOC settings, I have headings set to H2. It picks QL and Leave a comment because these 2 are also H2.

I can't change "leave a comment" and "quick Link" to H3 so to avoid the problem.

Help please

Thanks

I’m not familiar with the Rank Math TOC.

Thanks, how do I edit the “comment block” in block editor, I am using generatepress pro theme?

Great Eric. I'll try the TOC you recommend because the one I chose isn't so customizable. I love these snippets which solve my problems instantly.

Another idea, if it's not too much! 🤨

How does 'featured image' work? And how important is it to add if we want to keep our sites light and loading quickly.

Hey Eric, thanks a lot for sharing. What app do you use to record, edit, and put graphics in your videos on YouTube? I have heard of quite a few, but I want to try out something new with great features.

I use Screenflow

Thanks for this! I'd been using a different plug in and it just stopped working at one point.
