We’ve used this plugin since fd-footnotes was abandoned. On our site, it’s absolutely essential. As others have said, it’s straight forward and easy to use. Unfortunately, if you do a lot of hand coding on your pages, and so use a raw HTML syntax highlighting editor, you’ll find yourself incredibly frustrated by this plugin, as a single footnote is almost guaranteed to make a complete hash of the syntax highlighting.
The reason is fairly simple: This plugin violates the rules for WordPress shortcodes. A useful work-around for the interested: use double square brackets while editing your page/post. So instead of:
[1. this is a footnote.]
Write:
[[1. this is a footnote.]]
while you’re working on the page/post. Your footnote marks will then be surrounded by square brackets, but at least the syntax highlighting in your code editor won’t be turned into mush. Then, after you’re through editing, remove the outside set of square brackets.
Not perfect, but until or unless the developer of this plugin wishes to update it to comply with shortcode syntax (which might screw up old posts) its the best we can hope for.

I had used FD Footnotes for years and was apprehensive that the plugin would stop working some time in the future since the original author announced that he would not be updating it any more. So I was delighted to discover this drop-in replacement.
It works perfectly, just like the original FD Footnotes.
Kudos to V.H. Belvadi for offering this replacement. I trust that he will continue to support it. As of WordPress 4.9, the plugin works perfectly.
A truly elegant, easy-to-use solution!

Thank you for continuing the now unsupported fd-footnotes plugin. This plugin ist really easy to use and works well.
Here is my CSS for minor aesthetic changes:
sup.footnote a {
text-decoration: underline;
vertical-align: super;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 80%;
padding-left: 0.1em;
}
.footnotedivider {
width: 40%;
padding-top: 0.8em;
border-top: 1px solid #000;
}
.footnotes li {
font-size: 1.1em !important;
max-width: 490px;
margin-bottom: 1em;
}
If you want a button for showing / hiding footnotes:
.footnotes > p:nth-child(2) {
margin-top: .2em;
}
.footnoteshow {
display: inline-block;
color: #575757;
background: #f2f2f2;
margin-left: 2em;
margin-bottom: .8em;
font-size: .8em;
border: solid #d1d1d1 1px;
padding: 3px 13px 2px 13px;
text-decoration: none;
}
.footnoteshow:hover {
color: #fff;
background: #1296e8;
text-decoration: none;
}
Last thing: it is possible to translate the “Show footnotes” string editing the plugin code in WP. Updates of the plugin will destroy changes, but they won’t happen very often, I suppose.
Thank you for maintaining this plugin!
