Hi, I am using RankMath free version on my WordPress website and I add my “Table of Contents” to my post and sometimes the Table of Contents starts from first H2 to the last H2 or H3 See example of working Okay
https://westcoastnationalparks.com/the-wonderful-place-to-see-channel-island-national-park/ This is Great
Then I add the Table of Contents and it gives me 4 headings, I do same on every post, and I have about 3-4 posts not working right??
See Problem One https://westcoastnationalparks.com/beautiful-magical-stunning-tule-springs-fossel-beds-national-monument/
I do not believe it’s the number of words as ones that work have more word count?
Please can you help me fix the problem?
Thanks John

Hello,
We apologize for the issue you are facing with the Table of Contents on your posts. It seems that the Table of Contents is not consistently detecting the headings in some of your articles.
Here are a few things you can check to troubleshoot this issue:
-
Headings Structure: Ensure that you are using proper heading tags (H2, H3, etc.) in your posts. The Table of Contents block relies on these headings to generate the list.
-
Settings in TOC Block: Click on the Table of Contents block in your post and navigate to Settings. Check under Block → Settings → EXCLUDE HEADINGS to ensure that no headings are excluded from appearing in the table.
-
Plugin Conflicts: Sometimes, other plugins may conflict with Rank Math. You can refer to our guide on diagnosing plugin conflicts to see if this might be the case.
-
Known Issues: There is a known bug where higher-level headings may disappear if a lower-level heading is added before it. We are working on resolving this in a future update. You can monitor our changelog here for updates.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please reply to this ticket with the specific URLs of the posts where the Table of Contents is not functioning correctly, and a human agent from our support team will assist you further.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention!
