Custom code added to a wordpress loop doesn't get response

  • I don’t know whether I have interpreted my problem correctly in the topic title but I am sure I will be able to explain it here.
    I am trying to add “table of contents” to my pages. For this purpose, I have decided to use the plugin “md table of contents generator”. It is a nice little plugin and is easy to use. The only problem I am having is that for the code to appear in the pages, I need to add “[toc]” to the page. It is very difficult for me to go through all the 500 pages of my website and add this code to each of them separately. I would have done that but editing it in the future will also be difficult so I need a better solution.
    I am trying to add the it to the wordpress loop but there the plugin doesn’t response to it. It appears exactly the same on the page. I mean, instead of the div containing the table of content, I get the “[toc]” on my final page result. How can I get this to work?
    Is this possible that I extract all the code from the plugin and put it directly into the wordpress loop? Please help me on this?

    whare exactly?

    can you paste the full code into a https://pastebin.com/ and post the link to it here?

    instead of the div containing the table of content, I get the “[toc]” on my final page result.

    please post a link to your site to illustrate the problem.

    Here is the link to the code of the plugin:
    https://pastebin.com/HimkZF69
    And here is the link to my website’s page where I have added the table of contents custom tags:
    https://www.techno99.com/search-engine-optimization-tools/

    When you go to the page, you would see two table of contents displayed. These, I have manually added to the content of the page. By content of the page, I mean the actual post itself.
    The “[toc]” displayed at the top is the code I added to the wordpress loop. The plugin failed to respond to it.
    It is added as shown below:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
        <div id="content">
            <div id="postarea">
		    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <div class="postcontent">
            <div class="postcontent_in">

                <div class="post">
		    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

                    <div class="post">

<strong><p>[toc]</p></strong>

                        <?php the_content(__('Read more'));?>
                    </div>

                <div class="clear"></div>
                </div>
                </div>
            </div>

            <?php endwhile; else: ?>

    As you can see in the code above, I have added <p>[toc]</p> because when you see the coding of the plugin, you would find that it searches for the string <p>[toc]</p> and not simply [toc]. But this also doesn’t work.

    Sorry!
    I added the
    <strong></strong> around the <p>[toc]</p> to make it bold only in this post. It is not present in the actual content of my page so please take it out of the consideration.
