Having trouble getting your Table of Contents to work in your Shopify blog posts? You're not alone. Many store owners struggle with this because Shopify's native blog editor doesn't include a built-in TOC feature. Let's look at how you can solve this.
The Manual Way (Requires Coding)
If you're comfortable with code, you can create a basic TOC by:
- Adding HTML anchors to your headings
- Creating manual links to each section
- Styling with custom CSS
But let's be honest – this is time-consuming and can break easily when you update your content.
