Hi
Three burning questions (for your pro version if necessary)

Can you disable headings you do not want to appear and enable headings that don’t exist. Eg. Insert an Introduction header in the TOC without having every post headed Introduction! And post set out as follows:
h2 – Need to Know
h2 – Don’t Really Need to Know
H2 – Need to Know

Can you disable the Don’t really need to know heading?

Google Support
One of the benefits of TOC’s aside from on page UX is google showing links in the serps descriptions (increases CTR). Does your floating CTR get picked up by google or does teh TOC need to be physically on page as well?

Columns
Can your TOC display the links in two colums RESPONSIVELY or are you limited to one?

Thanks

Hi,

So sorry for the late reply, turns out my email notifications were off… I just activated them so it shouldn’t be a problem in the future.

Anyways, back to your questions:
1. At the moment, there is no option to disable a specific heading. However you can add customized content using the provided hooks. Check out the documentation in your wordpress admin at yoursite.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=joli_toc_user_guide#hooks.
Skipping specific headings is a feature that will be added to a future update.

That being said, I am not sure I perfectly understood your questions. Could you give me a more detailed example, especially for the ones “that don’t exist” ? Thank you

2. Technically the actual TOC is present in the content. This means that the HTML code is outputted with the links to the anchors. So in theory, it can get picked up by Google when your page is crawled because the HTML code is there, but then only Google has the final word whether or not it will show on the SERPs.
The floating TOC is made possible by using css/js and there are 3 different behaviours to choose from: Unfolded then floating as the user scrolls, Folded then floating, or invisible then floating.

3. Not in the current release but this feature is on the roadmap and will be available soon!

Thank you!

Hi
Disabling headings is a must for me – do let me know when you have included it – most other TOC plugins do this. For ones ‘that don’t exist’ I mean add in a heading for a certain text that is on page but not assigned a heading style. You can do both of these features by not showing a heading where it contains certains text or including certain text on page as a pseudo heading for the purposes of display.

2 – Great

3 – Do let me know when you have the updates don’t and I’ll take another look.

Hi @slipperx,

The latest update (1.2.0) now includes skipping headings by text (including wildcard) and by class.
The 2 columns layout has already been released in a previous version. However, this feature is a pro feature.

Cheers!
