In the vast majority of Shopify themes, the article wrapper class is designated as ".rte". However, if you find that the Table of Contents (TOC) isn't functioning seamlessly on your store, it's likely that your chosen theme employs a different wrapper class.
To tailor the TOC to your theme:
By following these streamlined steps, you can ensure a flawless TOC experience, tailored perfectly to your Shopify theme.
In many web designs, the content of an article is encapsulated within a specific container, separate from other elements like the title, metadata, or comments. This container, often referred to as the "article body wrapper," is essential for targeted styling or scripting. Here's how you can identify it:
Navigate to the specific article page you wish to inspect.
Inspect
or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + I
(Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I

or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + I

or press Cmd + Option + I
.Within the Elements
tab of the developer tools, you'll observe the page's HTML structure. As you hover over the elements in the developer tools, corresponding sections on the web page will be highlighted. Look for a container that wraps around just the main content of the article, excluding elements like the title or metadata.
Once you've pinpointed the article body wrapper, identify its class
or id
attribute. This will be crucial for any targeted modifications. An example might resemble:
<div class="article-content"> ... </div>
In this instance, "article-content" is the class name of the article body wrapper.
It's not uncommon for elements to have several class names, separated by spaces. This indicates that the element is associated with all those classes. When targeting, you might need to use the most specific or unique class to ensure precise modifications.
The exact class or ID and the overall structure can differ based on the website's design or the CMS in use. When implementing changes targeting this wrapper, always test thoroughly to prevent unintended alterations to the page. If you're working within a team or on a client's site, it's also a good practice to communicate or document any changes made for clarity.
By following these steps, you can effectively identify and work with the article body wrapper, ensuring that any modifications or enhancements are applied accurately and effectively.
