Trying to improve my TOC using Easy Table of Contents

    I currently have a TOC on my personal travel site but it’s just one long list of my past posts, 212 of them. I’m not good with coding so I’m trying to determine the easiest way to create a header for a set of posts. For example, our most recent trip was to the Netherlands, so I’d like to create a an H1 header titled “The Netherlands, March-April, 2023”, then nest all my posts for the Netherlands under this H1 header. Is there an easy way to do that or should I enlist the help of an expert?

    We can’t be much of a help as your site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform. You can do so by using categories – https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/posts-categories-screen/

    Hi there! 

    Unfortunately, we cannot assist because your site is not hosted on WordPress.com. It’s a self-hosted WordPress.org site hosted by a different hosting company. 

    We do not have access to self-hosted sites, so I cannot see the setup of the backend of your account.

    To clarify:

    • WordPress.com is a managed host platform that offers WordPress in a pre-customized server environment already set up for you to build your site. Hosting with WordPress.com is free, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by us. We offer free and paid plans that provide additional features for your site based on your needs (plugins, custom themes, etc). You also have access to professional assistance via Happiness Engineers to address any issues you encounter.
    • WordPress.org is a self-hosted platform, meaning you download the WordPress software and install it on a web server from a host of your choosing. You have to pay the host when you’re self-hosting, and the server, security, updates, and site optimization are all handled by you. This gives you more flexibility and control of your plugins, themes, and code but also more responsibility to ensure those things are operating correctly.

    Our support page dives more into the differences:

    I recommend contacting your site host, as they would be better positioned to assist you since they have access to your account. Also, the open-source forum community is always available and prepared to help users with self-hosted sites: https://wordpress.org/support/forums 

    If you’d prefer our world-class support (the yearly Business plan gives you access to 24/7 live chat support, for example), you can migrate your entire site to WordPress.com. I recommend the Business plan for this, as you will get to use the same themes/plugins you already have on your site, but you are welcome to explore other WordPress.com plans.

    If you don’t want to migrate to WordPress.com yet, we also recommend checking out Jetpack plans, which include essential features like automatic backups with one-click restores, automatic malware and security scanning, and video-uploading features. These are perfect for self-hosted WordPress.org sites, so feel free to check them out. :)

    Feel free to let us know if there’s anything else you need, and we’ll be happy to help.
