If you have the plugin already activated please skip steps 1,2.

  • If you want to display your TOC as a widget then follow step 1 to 10
  • Or if you want to display your TOC inside your post/page then follow step 1-2 and 5-11
  1. Upload TableOfContent.php to /wp-content/plugins/
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to the widgets menu
  4. Drag TB_Widget into the widget area you would like your table of content to appear
  5. Create or Edit a post/page [post/page editor]
  6. Inside Custom fields Under Name insert “Tb_Title” [capital sensitive]
  7. and in value insert your table title. For example “Table of Content”
  8. Click on Add Custom Fields
  9. Similar the last two steps insert “Tb_Headers” for name
  10. and in value insert the header numbers with comma separation. this numbers informs the plugin as to which html header <h1> you would like to include in your table of content. For example: if you want your table of content to display links to <h1>, <h2> and <h3> then write "1,2,3"
  11. Insert this tag <!--PutTableHere--> inside your post/page content under HTML input [Please be aware that where ever you put this tag will be where the table appears to your readers]
