Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Rank Math only detects the Table of Content if it is added with the compatible plugins. If you’re adding Table of Contents by any other method that does not involve the usage of a plugin, then you can completely disable the test for Table of Contents.
To disable the test of the Table of Contents, add the following piece of code to your theme’s functions.php file:
/**
* Filter to disable the table of contents test
*/
add_filter( 'rank_math/researches/tests', function( $tests, $type ) {
unset(
$tests['contentHasTOC'],
);
return $tests;
}, 10, 2 );
I hope this helps. Looking forward to helping you.
PS- Do I need to be worried about the TOC not working in Google?
Hello,
If the table of contents links on the SERP really matters to your business, you need to ensure that Google is seeing the table of contents format in your post. Please refer to this guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/table-of-contents/
With that said, please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Thank you.
Hi there,
I’m sorry, but I don’t think you understood the question. Please refer to the information in this thread, and advise accordingly? Thanks!
Hello,
I apologize if my last response isn’t helpful.
“Content Links” are usually what Google utilizes from the TOC of your page and you don’t need to worry even if Rank Math hasn’t detected the TOC in your page content as the test is happening on the backend, Google would still likely to see the TOC.
Hope that helps.
Thank you.
