Remove table of content maximum limit

We know how table of content web part can help us providing a way to show up all links of libraries and lists on one single page for ease of access.

However when it comes to a size limit, it can show up to 50 links at a time. It does not show if you have more than 50 items.

So, how to remove this limitation? Follow the steps below. Make sure that you take a backup of web.config file of the port number of web server. (Do the same for each server if you have farm environment)

1) Open web.config for specific port for web application.
(C:\inetpub\wwwroot\wss\virtualdirectories\port)

2) Find below entries

<add name="GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Global navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Global" EncodeOutput="true" />
<add name="CombinedNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Combined navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Combined" EncodeOutput="true" />
<add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Current navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="true" />
<add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProviderNoEncode" description="CMS provider for Current navigation, no encoding of output" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="false" />


We need to add DynamicChildLimit="0" before the end tag "/>" on each line to disable the default 50 elements limit.

0 means no limit, If you want to limit it to specific number, specify that number there.

Example

<add name="GlobalNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Global navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=13.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=94de0004b6e3fcc5" NavigationType="Global" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="0" />

Remember, you have to add this attribute in all four tags.
