# IDs

 * Hi,
 * I am using SimpleTOC alongside GenerateBlocks and I’ve run into an issue with
   how IDs are automatically generated.
 * The plugin is very aggressive and injects IDs into every heading it finds, including
   the H1 tag, which is not desired. Furthermore, it scans dynamic placeholders 
   like {{post_title}} in the Query Loop before they are rendered. This results 
   in a critical validation error: every single post in my loop gets assigned the
   exact same duplicate ID: id=”posttitle-linkpost”.
 * Is there a way to prevent SimpleTOC from generating IDs in specific sections 
   of the page or for specific tags like H1?
 * Ideally, the plugin should only generate IDs for standard WordPress heading blocks
   and completely ignore headings created via GenerateBlocks.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Hello, for a change, all the headings now have the ID “home.” {{post_title}} 
   has disappeared and been replaced by the ID “home.” This applies to all dynamic
   links to the home page. Everything is fine on other pages.
