 * Dear support,
 * Steps to reproduce:
 * 1. Place [toc] shortcode on a regular page and confirm that it is working.
 * 2. Go to Settings -> Reading -> Front page displays a static page -> [toc page
   here]
 * 3. Visit the frontpage and you will see the [toc] shortcode isn’t producting 
   a table of contents in the output.
 * Can this be fixed?
 * Sincerely,
 * Jay

 * Earlier, you wrote: “does not work even on my regular page. pathetic.”.
 * And yeah, you do need 2 or more headings.
 * As for the frontpage, that’s also a setting you need to turn on.
 * It works fine for me now.

 * More specifically, it’s this one in **Advanced**
 * > Show the table of contents for qualifying items on the homepage
 * It took me a while to understand.
