I keep getting the error message “Add Heading blocks to this page to generate the Table of Contents,” even after adding the appropriate headings and this prevents me from creating table of contents for my articles. Can you please help me resolve it.

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Table of Contents block. The error message "Add Heading blocks to this page to generate the Table of Contents" typically appears when there are no headings detected in your article. Here are a few steps you can take to resolve this:
-
Check Your Headings: Ensure that you have added one or more heading blocks (H1, H2, H3, etc.) in your content. The Table of Contents block requires these headings to generate properly.
-
Settings Check: Click on the Table of Contents block and navigate to Settings. Then go to Block → Settings → EXCLUDE HEADINGS and confirm that you have not excluded any headings from appearing in the table.
-
Bug Awareness: Please note that our team has identified a bug that may cause higher-level headings to disappear if a lower-level heading is added before it. We are working on resolving this issue in a future update. You can monitor our changelog here for updates.
If you continue to experience issues after checking these points, please reply to this ticket, and a human agent from the Rank Math Support team will assist you further. Thank you for raising this concern!
