Sometimes a plugin you already use comes with a table of contents block &#8212; these are usually block library plugins or SEO plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most plugins let you insert a table of contents using a shortcode or Gutenberg block. Some plugins help you auto-insert, and a table of contents will automatically appear in your blog posts. If you want for a specific look for your table, you should look for a plugin with more options that give you control over layout and styling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With these factors in mind, let&#8217;s take a closer look at some of the best WordPress table of contents plugins available today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-best-word-press-table-of-contents-plugins\">What are the Best WordPress Table of Contents Plugins?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-a-href-https-wordpress-org-plugins-all-in-one-seo-pack-all-in-one-seo-aioseo-a\">1. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/all-in-one-seo-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">All in One SEO (AIOSEO)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/all-in-one-seo-pack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aioseo.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aioseo.png 772w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aioseo-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/aioseo-768x249.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you already use All in One SEO for your SEO needs, then you are in luck. This popular SEO plugin also includes a table of contents function in its free version. The plugin lets you add a SEO-friendly table of contents using a Gutenberg block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO allows <a href=\"https:\/\/aioseo.com\/docs\/adding-a-table-of-contents-to-your-site-using-all-in-one-seo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fine-grained control<\/a> over your table. It lets you hide and reorder your headings, edit your headings, and choose to use bullets or numbers to display your table listing. Furthermore, you can even edit the anchor link for the heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"818\" height=\"537\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/all-in-one-seo-toc.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/all-in-one-seo-toc.png 818w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/all-in-one-seo-toc-300x197.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/all-in-one-seo-toc-768x504.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 818px) 100vw, 818px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO does not have styling controls for your table of contents. Font and color changes need to be added via CSS. The Pro version of the plugin does not add any more features to the table of contents block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> You can control the order, link, and visibility for each heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:&nbsp;<\/strong>No style controls. The Pro version does not add anything more for table of contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing\">Pricing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version of the plugin allows you to add an unlimited number of table of contents. The Pro version is $124\/year for one site and $249\/year for three sites. Detailed pricing information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/aioseo.com\/pricing\/#pricing-table\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. There are no additional features to the table of contents block in the Pro version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-should-consider-all-in-one-seo\">Who Should Consider All in One SEO?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Users who already have AIOSEO installed can start adding tables of contents without an additional plugin. If you want exact control over the order and visibility of your headings, this plugin is for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-a-href-https-wordpress-org-plugins-seo-by-rank-math-rank-math-a\">2. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/seo-by-rank-math\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RankMath<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/seo-by-rank-math\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath.png 772w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-768x249.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>RankMath is another popular SEO plugin that adds a TOC block to your editor. Like AIOSEO, RankMath&#8217;s TOC block gives you <a href=\"https:\/\/rankmath.com\/kb\/table-of-contents-block\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fine-grained control<\/a> over the wording, order, and visibility of each of your table of content headings. The notable difference is that the visibility toggle in AIOSEO only affects a single heading, whereas in RankMath it will show\/hide all of the subheadings as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"877\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-toc.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-toc.png 877w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-toc-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/rankmath-toc-768x511.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>RankMath&#8217;s TOC block also includes Gutenberg&#8217;s native styling options where you change the text size, text color, and background of your table of contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> You can control the order, link, and visibility for each heading. You can also change text size and color, which AIOSEO does not do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> The Pro version does not add any new features for table of contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing-1\">Pricing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The free version of the plugin allows you to add an unlimited number of table of contents. The Pro version is $129\/year for unlimited personal sites, $429\/year for 200 client sites, and $999\/year for 750 client sites. Detailed pricing information can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/rankmath.com\/offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>. There are no additional features to the table of contents block in the Pro version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-should-consider-rank-math\">Who Should Consider RankMath?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Current RankMath users, and those who are shopping for a SEO plugin, should consider using RankMath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-a-href-https-wordpress-org-plugins-kadence-blocks-kadence-blocks-a\">3. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/kadence-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kadence Blocks<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/kadence-blocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/kadence-blocks.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/kadence-blocks.jpg 772w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/kadence-blocks-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/kadence-blocks-768x249.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Kadence Blocks is a highly rated block library created by Kadence WP. The block library has over 300,000 active installs and an average rating of 4.9 stars. The free version of Kadence Blocks comes with 15 blocks, among them the TOC block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each Kadence block comes with plenty of customization options, and the TOC block is no different. You can change the list and title font size and color across different breakpoints. You can also add padding and borders to the container. You can set which heading levels are visible, but there is no way to toggle the visibility of individual headings. Since all the settings are in blocks, there is no auto-insert option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can see a demo of the TOC block <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kadencewp.com\/kadence-blocks\/table-of-contents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Part of an extensive suite of blocks. Lots of customization options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Need to install the library if you are not using Kadence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing-2\">Pricing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The TOC block comes with the free version of Kadence Blocks. Kadence Blocks Pro is $69\/year for unlimited sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-should-consider-kadence-blocks\">Who Should Consider Kadence Blocks?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Current Kadence users and those interested in Kadence should consider use their TOC blocks. If you are using another block library, it&#8217;s probably not worth installing another library just for a TOC block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-a-href-https-wordpress-org-plugins-table-of-contents-plus-table-of-contents-plus-a\">4. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/table-of-contents-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Table of Contents Plus<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/table-of-contents-plus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/table-of-contents-plus.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/table-of-contents-plus.png 772w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/table-of-contents-plus-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/table-of-contents-plus-768x249.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Table of Contents Plus was the original plugin that was the source of the fork for Easy Table of Contents. If you are comfortable with Easy Table of Contents, then you will feel right at home with Table of Contents Plus. Like Easy Table of Contents, Table of Contents Plus also boasts 300,000+ active installations and an average of 4.5 stars on the plugin directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Table of Contents Plus shares similar core features with Easy Table of Contents. You can choose which post types to auto-insert your table of contents, and you can pick where on the page it shows up. You can also pick which heading levels are included in the table of contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Table of Contents Plus has the same design options as Easy Table of Contents. You can choose between five themes and a custom option that lets you change the colors of links, background, title, and borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:&nbsp;<\/strong>Easy to use, and no need to pay for all the features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:&nbsp;<\/strong>Since this is a free plugin, support is limited to the free support forums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing-3\">Pricing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no premium version of this plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-should-consider-table-of-contents-plus\">Who Should Consider Table of Contents Plus?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Users who want a simple, basic plugin can consider Table of Content Plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-a-href-https-wordpress-org-plugins-easy-table-of-contents-easy-table-of-contents-a\">5. <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/easy-table-of-contents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Easy Table of Contents<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/easy-table-of-contents\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/easy-table-of-contents.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/easy-table-of-contents.png 772w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/easy-table-of-contents-300x97.png 300w, https:\/\/presscargo.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/easy-table-of-contents-768x249.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Easy Table of Contents, as its name implies, makes inserting a table of contents into your post very easy.

You can choose to auto-insert into any post type, and decide where in the post it will show up. The plugin will take all of your headings and organize them into a table of contents. You can decide whether to include all levels of headings or include certain levels. You can also change colors and fonts. It works well with the block editor, classic editor, or the major page builders. The Pro version comes with Gutenberg and Elementor support, and the ability to create sticky tables of contents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that this plugin is a fork of the popular Table of Contents Plus plugin, which we will review next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pros:<\/strong> Easy to use, works out of the box<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cons:<\/strong> At $49\/year the single license is pricier than other competitors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"pricing-4\">Pricing<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The core version of the plugin is free.
