 * I have recently gotten the YadaWiki plugin to put together a very simple wiki
   for internal use at my company. I followed instructions in the informational 
   video, but I am unable to get a TOC to show on any pages using the shortcode [
   yadawikitoc show_toc=”true”]. I have a page named TOC with some dummy data on
   it and a couple other pages. Right now the page in question has nothing other
   than the show_toc shortcode.

 * Hi jslavens, Sorry you are running into difficulties. Here are some questions
   that might help track down the problem:
 * 1) It is a wiki page named “TOC” and the shortcode is in another wiki page (i.
   e. not regular pages)?
 * 2) You don’t by any chance have a TOC page in the trash? WordPress finds that
   one as well.
 * 3) The TOC page is published and the visibility is public (or if is published
   and the user visiting the page that has the TOC shortcode in it has permissions
   to view the page)?
 * 4) Are your other wiki pages / wiki shortcodes working?
 * 5) Probably not applicable, but did you insert that shortcode using the editor
   button? Asking because the double quotes in your example above are slanted. This
   is what it should look like:
 * `[yadawikitoc show_toc="true"]`
 * 6) If you look at the page on the front-end, is there an error? In Chrome you
   can right click on the page and select inspect element to bring up the developer
   console. Then clicking on the console tab and reloading the page.
 * I guess the usual mode for debugging is to disable other plugins to see if there
   is a conflict.
 * Let me know if any of this helps. In not we can try something further.

 * Hi jslavens, I am going to assume that you no longer need help with this. If 
   you still have a problem then feel free to post here again.
 * Best,
 * David
