Osom Blocks vs SimpleTOC – Table of Contents Block

Osom Blocks is a block to list Custom Post Types, ideally to use with OsomPress themes. With Osom Custom Post Type Block you can display a list of CPT entries and customize: 1. The Custom Post Type. 2. Number of posts. 3. Display/hide the featured image. 4. Display/hide the excerpt. 5. Choose grid display 6. Choose the number of columns for the grid layout 7. Choose the title HTML markup (H2, H3 or H4). 8. Customize the “read more” text. 9. Display/hide parent post/pages (only in hierarchical Custom Post Types). 10. Display/hide pagination. Deprecation Notice Important: We want to inform you that the plugin will be deprecated in future releases. For new sites we highly encourage you use the native query loop block, which now supports listing of Custom Post Types seamlessly. We appreciate your understanding.

Add a Table of Contents block to your posts and pages. The TOC is a nested list of links to all heading found in the post or page. To use it, simply add a block and search for “SimpleTOC” or just “TOC”. The maximum depth of the toc can be configured in in the blocks’ sidebar among many other options. There can hide the headline “Table of Contents” and add your own by using a normal heading block. Spin up a new WordPress instance with the SimpleTOC plugin already installed.
