Any chance there will be a the modern Gutenberg block support for EFN? I keep forgetting the shortcode syntax, and a block would be handy.

In my case I didn’t want the label to be a 1, I wanted it to be a symbol for ? so the first thing we will do is to implement this JS

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    // Select the <sup> elements to modify the number.
    const footnoteNumbers = document.querySelectorAll('.easy-footnote a sup');

    // Changes the content to the question mark symbol
    footnoteNumbers.forEach(function(footnote) {
        footnote.innerText = '?'; // this one to avoid duplicates
    });
});

Then we can fix it with some css, in my case the symbol was duplicated, but with this code it is solved.

/* This CSS block adds a symbol after the link */.easy-footnote a::after {
    content: ''; /* Leave empty to remove the extra symbol */
}

We are in the process of upgrading our site to WP version 6.3, but we need to know that all plugins will work and Easy Footnotes is only tested up to 6.08. Are you planning to test the plugin against newer versions soon?

Does anyone else know if this plugin works with WordPress version 6.3?

There are some I18N issues for this plugin, I list them for your reference.

• This “Requires at least” is below 4.6. so you need to set a Text Domain in easy-footnotes.php, and it needs to be easy-footnotes to correctly internationalize your plugin! Please refer to this official article.
• Requires at least (3.0.1) is below 4.6, so a load_plugin_textdomain is needed. Please make sure you load it at a certain point in your plugin. Please refer to this official article.
• easy-footnotes-admin.php, line 61 should be the following.

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Update Options', 'easy-footnotes' ); ?>" />

I have been using this awesome plugin for a long time. It’s really awesome!

I would like to request a feature that would allow me to repeat the same citations more than once. This feature has been requested by many users in this forum, and I hope to see it in the next update.

Thanks.

I’m using the Pods plugin to add custom content to my WP site. Some of that content needs to be footnoted. I’ve previously used Easy Footnotes on other sites, so I had hoped to use it here as well. But it appears that the shortcode isn’t being picked up in the custom content fields. Any suggestions?

Easy footnotes works until I get to my 9th source. It’s showing the URL that I’m referring to in the body of the blog and it’s showing two superscripts instead of one for one source.

Typed like this: re-encounters major stressors[efn_note]https://www.petmd.com/dog/behavior/how-heal-emotionally-traumatized-pet.[efn_note]

Looks like this: (“superscript 9 located here”) https://www.petmd.com/dog/behavior/how-heal-emotionally-traumatized-pet(“superscript 10 located here”)

Can’ give a link-I’m waiting top post until this is fixed.

Hi! I have this exact issue:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/end-of-line-superscript-wraps-by-itself-to-next-line/

I cannot stop the superscript from breaking to the next line on its lonesome. Here’s a screenshot. https://pasteboard.co/uXrHJsbDMG1X.jpg

Below is a sample paragraph prior to code.

https://pasteboard.co/U1qY6c15SsMU.jpg

<span style="font-size: 20pt; line-height: 32pt; font-family: garamond-atf-text, serif;">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.</span>

I’ve tried to enter code at the top of the paragraph and prior to [efn_note] to no avail. From the previous post, I assume “white-space: nowrap” is the answer, but the code is not working for me. Below are some failed Additional CSS options:

span.easy-footnote {
		white-space: nowrap !important;
}

.easy-footnote sup{
		white-space: nowrap;
		vertical-align: super;
		font-size: 14px
}

.sup {
		white-space: nowrap;
}

I attempted to edit the easy-footnotes.php file directly to no avail. Thank you for your time and assistance!

You should consider styling the superscript differently in order to tell them apart.

The default is to show footnotes with numbers like this¹²³

However this looks like the number one hundred twenty-three, when it is in fact one, two, three.

So instead I propose to enclose the superscript footnotes in brackets. For example like this ^[1][2][3]

Although I managed to do this with CSS, it’s only a hack:

span.easy-footnote a::before {    content: "\005B";    text-decoration: none;    font-size: smaller;    vertical-align: super;}span.easy-footnote a::after {    content: "\005D";    text-decoration: none;    font-size: smaller;    vertical-align: super;}

1. This plugin’s “Requires at least” is below 4.6. so you need to set a Text Domain in easy-footnotes.php, and it needs to be easy-footnotes to internationalize your plugin correctly! Please refer to this official article.
2. WARNING: Requires at least (3.0.1) is below 4.6, so a load_plugin_textdomain is needed. Please make sure you load it at a certain point in your plugin. Please refer to this official article.
3. easy-footnotes-admin.php line 61 should be corrected to the following because its text domain is wrong.

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Update Options', 'easy-footnotes' ); ?>" />

Is it possible to turn footnotes off on mobile?

Very easy to implement and works smoothly. Thanks for this handy plugin!

I wondered if I overview the possibility to ad a title to appear just above the footnotes. For example “literature” as a header and then starting the list of footnotes.

Help appreciated!

Hi Jason,

Thank you for this wonderful plugin, is working great.

There’s only one thing I am missing to perfect my site.

I used your code here, for the desktop version

.easy-footnote-title,
.easy-footnotes-wrapper {
max-width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

Luckily it is working great. I also add margins to the left and right to adjust the footnotes to my liking.

Please, can you tell me how can I do the same for the tablet and mobile version, too?

Thank you for your support, I appreciate it!

Hi,

I have noticed that the footnotes appear twice on mobile phones. Once at their proper place, and another time below the website’s footer. I use Autoptimize plugin; could that be the issue and how to fix it?

Thank you,

Philippe

I went to edit a blog post on my website, and found that most of the entries were gone from some of the bulleted lists I had made in that post. The lists are still intact when I view the actual published post for now, and the revision history doesn’t say those parts of the post have been deleted, but when I go to edit the post (with either the visual editor or the code editor), a big chunk of those lists is gone from what I see in the editor.

So now I can’t edit the post continuing from how I left it, because what the editor gives me to work with is somehow missing some of the content that exists in the most recently published version of the post.

The problem seems to have something to do with the Easy Footnotes plugin. Every list cutoff seems to start at the point where I had put a shortcode for a footnote. I don’t think every list containing a footnote is having this problem, though, and the problem doesn’t go away when I deactivate this plugin (or any other plugins).

Hi Jason Yingling,

Thank you for kindly providing us with the easy Footnotes plugin.

It is the only one out of 4 tested that works reliably. I installed it for a client who writes scientific articles and thus has countless footnotes.

Therefore I would like to ask if it is possible to collapse the footnotes section. (Accordion) Unfortunately, with 40 or more footnotes per article, the page becomes very long. So it would be nice if the area could be folded out.

Can you help me with this? I would be very grateful.

Kind regards
Sylvana

This is a great add-on. Exactly what I was looking for; easy to use.

I’m only having one issue. When I click a footnote, it jumps to the footnotes at the bottom but is not aligned correctly. Like, it don’t jump to the correct footnote. How can I fix this please?

It seems like this feature has been requested before. Just putting it out there again to see if you have an update on this feature.

Thanks.

Greetings!
First off, great plugin – I use it all the time!~
Secondly, can you confirm PHP 8.1 compatibility?
Third, possibility of an update addressing some of the suggestions?

When I install and use EFN as directed, it breaks the line break formatting of my Elementor (Pro) home page.

Why? What do I have to do to make it work?

Thanks for the help!

Screenshot Gif

Sorry, this is a machine translation.

Normally, Easy Footnotes hides the tooltip when you stop hovering on PC. On mobile, it is hidden when you tap it.

However, when I scroll with the tooltip visible on mobile, the tooltip is hidden and does not show up when I tap the label again.

To show it, you need to tap once on the other label, show the other tooltip, and then go back and tap the original label again.

This can be reproduced in Chrome’s Developer Tools. Once you are in mobile view in the Developer Tools, click on the label to display the tooltip.

Then try clicking and scrolling instead of using the mouse wheel. The tooltip will be hidden, so click on the label again. The tooltip will not be visible. Also, you can see that the gray background color of the label button is still dark active.

Can someone help me with jquery.qtip.js to fix the problem?

The page used for the test

Hi Jason,
Since a few weeks ago, text in the hover-over popups appears in unformatted form. E.g. instead of this, you see < em >this< /em >, with “em”‘s but without actual italics. Any idea how to fix that?

Best,

I am trying to add separate blog posts on WordPress via Elementor and using the
EasyFootnote. However, when doing so, the first footnote used continues from the previous post (beginning at 21 rather than starting over at 1).

Any advice as to how this can be fixed?

Hi. This is a fabulous plugin, I really appreciate it. I wonder if I could make a suggestion. I use the classic editor, in text mode. When the footnotes are inserted in the text, it would be a bit easier to quickly distinguish them at a glance if the footnotes and their tags were a different color, blue perhaps. I don’t know if it’s possible to make that happen in the classic text editor. Just an idea. Thank you, anyway, this is a great plugin. It was even clever enough to automatically convert my footnotes to endnotes when it ran into a long one. Great idea.

I see in the forum that other users have seen the same issue that I’m seeing, which is duplication of footnotes: “Duplicate Footnotes When Using Elementor”.

I also see that the issue is “resolved” with the stance that “May be something that uses the apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content) function in the theme or plugin causing it”.

However, I’ve seen from other forums that WP doesn’t guarantee that content is only one once. Therefore, it seems like this issue IS a bug in the plugin. What steps need to be taken to fix this issue? I can help if needed.

Example: “There is no expectation in WordPress whatsoever that content will only be accessed once.”

Good afternoon-

Love the plugin, works great. On my site as I will often use the same citation multiple times. When I do this using easy footnotes, it generates a new # on the references at the bottom and appears to bug out (see link). Is there a way to (a) assign a name to a citation so that I can re-use it and/or (b) make it so they dont present as errors in the references section?

Thanks,
John

I was wondering how to align the footnotes to the rest of the content of that page that is in a tab sheet.

Plus, I was wondering since it’s in a tab sheet, is It possible to only show footnotes from that tab sheet and not all of them.

That would be very much appreciated!

Hello,

When I hover over the reference in the page I get:

jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2 Uncaught TypeError: r.getClientRects is not a function
    at S.fn.init.offset (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)
    at Object.R.viewport (jquery.qtip.js:2679)
    at e.z.reposition (jquery.qtip.js:867)
    at e.z.toggle (jquery.qtip.js:1068)
    at e.<anonymous> (jquery.qtip.js:1316)
    at i (jquery.min.js?ver=3.5.1:2)

Is this on my end? Is there a solution that doesn’t involve jquery migrate?

Thanks a lot!

Good morning,

First of all, thank you very much for this awesome plugin.
Is it possible to improve the page position when clicking on the note call or on the return icon?
For example, in the linked page (excuse-me, the site is not yet online ; it’s a staging server) when clicking on the footnote number, the page is scrolled automatically too high, and we cannot read the beginning of the footnote which is hidden by the header.
In a same way, when we click on the return icon, the page is scrolled too high so that we cannot read the footnote number.

Best regards and thank you in advance.

It’s awesome to use the plugin Easy Footnotes. Thank you very much.

I made many notes by Easy Footnotes plugin, how could I make a data backup for them? Is it possible to use “Tool – Export” on the WordPress’ back-management menu for export the notes I make?

Thank you again.
Tom
