Is this plugin abandoned?

@luckywp:
Wouldn’t it be responsible to give the 100,000+ users the answer to James’ question (and the other users who asked)? There are many users who have installed your plugin on a large number of WordPress instances, set it up and customized the output. It would be really nice to know if we all need to look for a replacement in the medium term.

We all know that plugin development maintenance and support is a lot of work. Especially when there is no payment for it, it can be difficult in the long run. But it would be really nice to know what you plan to do in the future. At the moment the plugin is still working wonderfully, but that can change quickly, as we also all know very well.

So I also ask: Do you just leave it as it is as long as it works and then rework it, or do you want to give up the plugin?

And I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for this great, easy-to-use and customizable table of contents plugin and your great work for over 5 years!

I gave up waiting for a response, and changed to an active TOC plugin.

It was easy, but needed a little CSS tweaking.

@bobsled which one did you choose ?

I chose Easy Table of Contents. But Table of Contents Plus is also fine.

The only reason I went with the first one is because there is an override in the editor screen.

Apart from that, they are both the same.

@bobsled?thanks ??

@bobsled hello.

Do you mean you have replaced the plugin, including the content of the structure of your website?
That would be great news for me as well, as the TOC is embedded in my internal site structure. Just removing it would mean people cannot find stuff anymore and I guess it would also mean it would hurt SEO.

Could you tell me (us) what you’ve done in detail?

Bye from Lex from Amsterdam

Yes, I replaced the plugin because it was apparent that it would never be updated.

I replaced it with Easy Table of Contents, but there is a noticable difference in how the jump links work.

With the old plugin, GSC indexed the jump links as extra pages. But with the new plugin, the links don’t get indexed.

This may be a result of changing plugins, but it could also be that Google’s algorithm is working differently now.

I’m not overly concerned, but you might want to consider this aspect as it may potentially affect SEO.

Thank you.

From the practical side: What does “an override in the editor screen” mean?
Does it mean you can overiide all your existing internal links in the plugin Easy Table of Contents ?
(I got loads; I do not even know how many and where.)

Override was a feature of Lucky TOC, too.

It lets you override the defaut TOC settings on a single page in the edit screen.

As for your exisiting TOC links, it’s not an issue. Everything works the same. All I had to do was modify a bit of CSS to tidy up the look.

The only other change I have made since changing plugins, is to move the TOC to the sidebar. But you can do this with either plugin.

Hi Guys. The absolute the best alternative I found was:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/easy-table-of-contents/

Numerous features, minimum JavaScript, flexible settings and active development.

I need a replacement of this table of contents plugin in WordPress including all deeplinks which have been created by Lucky WP. I am willing to pay for this service.

Although I’d rather see a reaction from LuckyWP here saying it will carry on. If that’ll be a paid service, I am willing to pay for it if it is a fair price.
