    I would like to share my edited Novel Navigation Links plugin
    Would be waste if I didn't share it with others! it has same like the origin but included with ToC links and select chapter list by dropdown!
    [​IMG]
    You can download it from this link: GoogleDrive and upload it to your site (Guide: Wordpress Documentation)
    Your chapter and toc post must have same category and the toc post should be the oldest post on the category since the order is chronological :notlikeblob:.

    I hope this can be useful for you :blobReach:

    I don't know any that help downloading, but you can try this one for next/prev chapters then: https://wordpress.org/plugins/novel-navigation-links/

    I don't use it myself, but @LysUltima does and it works for him~

    Hi! Great thread this is! I've been looking for something like this :aww:
    I've been meaning to ask if there's any plugin to add a table of content button to certain categories. My current theme has prev and next navigation which is great but doesn't have a TOC button. I know I could always just attach a link to a text on every post for the TOC but it would be nice if there was a plugin for that instead of doing so manually.

    Also, a plugin for an online chatbox for readers at the sidebar instead of making a discord server would be nice.

    I figured I could also share some of the plugins that (I think) may be useful in return :)

    1) Add Widget After Content
    Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-widget-after-content/
    What it does: as the name implies, you could add any widget after the content in each post
    What I use it for: Patreon Button, Ko-fi Button, Text that tells readers to like and comment if they liked my work

    2) Worth the Read
    Link: https://wordpress.org/plugins/worth-the-read/
    What it does: It's a reading progress bar which lets readers know how much content they have left to read before the end of the post. You could also choose to let people know how many minutes of reading time each post has.
    What I use it for: I first noticed this on chrysanthemum garden's website and thought it was really nice to have a reading progress bar so I mainly use it for that.

    Thanks for this thread, its very helpful.
    I'm newbies when it comes to blogging, so yeah.
    The next and previous button html sources I found on the internet didnt seem to work, so I just linked it manually,
    Like this,
    <<Previous | TOC | Next>>
    I'll check the other plug in thanks, the footnotes ones sounds nice.
    Is the foot notes the one plugin that disappear but appear when being clicked?

    Not exactly. When you add a footnote to a given part of your chapter, it will be displayed as a number that reflects how many footnotes you used so far. (As in, the 1st footnote will show as 1, the 2nd one as 2 and so on forth)

    You can hover your mouse over the number and it will make a small pop up that shows the contents of the footnote.

    Alternatively, you can click said number to be redirected to the bottom of the chapter, where the footnote is written out.

    I dunno anyone aside from Wuji that is willing to do all the work for you. I think you're gonna have to do it the hard way or just join another translation site if you don't wanna rely on him.
