Hi this looks like a great plugin, is it open source or would you be willing to at a collaborator to take care of it?
]]>When i use site-matter in tables the note wil not align, the just sit at the top of the sidebar.
What can i do to solve it.

]]>Hi everybody,
side matter is mislaigning sme of the side notes that I have included in blockquote.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Thank you for your time
]]>I tried a solution found in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/adjusting-for-mobile-browsers/ but doesn’t work –I had to disable positioning altogether to work when the sidenotes behave like footnotes in narrower sizes (but I miss it in the wider sizes).
How can I achieve this?
]]>Hello and thank you for that great plugin!
I’m novice in web developing, and this plugin is really help my.
But i have a problem between this plugin and Live Composer’s Orao theme, and no possible to solve it myself.
The theme is available: Livecomposer plugin Orao theme
The error is from the “Side Matter” plugin, in the file
wp-content/plugins/side-matter/js/side-matter-admin.js?ver=1.4″, line 61, char 60
I’m novice in web developing, so thank you for understanding.
Thank you a lot!
]]>Sidematter reference notes are rendered in triplicate.
TEST
—-
The following text in the WordPress text (not visual) editor:
line 1: test one [ref]reference for test one[/ref]
renders sidematter notes in triplicate
]]>1. reference for test one
2. reference for test one
3. reference for test one
Sidematter reference notes ignore new lines. When a new line is created after a sidematter reference note in brackets, the text of the new line is not displayed on a new line. To work around this problem, I insert the HTML code for a space ( ).
TEST
—-
The following text in the WordPress text (not visual) editor:
line 1: test one [ref]reference for test one[/ref]
line 2: this should be a new line after line 1.
renders as the following
]]>line 1: test one<sup>3</sup> line 2: this should be a new line after line 1.
I love your sidematter concept.
Would you consider porting it over to Wikimedia?
I’d especially like to have a Wiki that allowed me to still keep references showing up at the bottom of the page but would allow editors to add comments or counter arguments in the side matter area. So a tag like <sm> for side matter would be parsed to display to the side of the main article.
]]>So in addition to possibly creating an option to incorporate the ability to choose base parents selectors for both refs and notes, you will really want to change your side-matter.php file to be more selective as to when it loads its admin.js file. Right now it loads on every admin page and breaks causing scripting issues for some sites (including mine).
In side-matter/side-matter.php, where it says:
public function admin_enqueue( $hook ) { // Enqueue script and stylesheet for Side Matter options menu
global $wp_version;A $hook check needs to be inserted, so that these lines read:
public function admin_enqueue( $hook ) { // Enqueue script and stylesheet for Side Matter options menu
if ( 'appearance_page_side-matter' != $hook ) {
return;
}
global $wp_version;This makes sure the css and js for your settings page only loads on the settings page and show no errors in the console.
]]>If you are having problems with alignment issues (as I was) please note:
This plugin relies on parent containers that are EXPLICITLY delcared position relative in the CSS. As an example, I build on Yootheme’s master template warp 7 – I was getting arbitrary spacing depending on responsive behavior etc. However, since the theme uses UIkit and both the widget and the sidebars are placed in uk-panel class divs, I could anchor measurements to those DIVs.
But what if those position relative containers aren’t direct parents? This plugin came in very handy:
I included it before the plugin code and altered two lines from:
var refPosition = $(ref).position().top; // Position of reference anchor
var notePosition = $(note).position().top; // Position of sidenoteto
var refPosition = $(ref).positionRelative('.uk-panel').top; // Position of reference anchor
var notePosition = $(note).positionRelative('.uk-panel').top; // Position of sidenoteThis let me explicitly define the parent element I wanted to measure from – now I get perfect placement with no need for offset adjustments and because of how the template works, responsive behavior is for the sidebar notes to drop below the article content as a stack of footnotes – exactly what I wanted.
]]>Hi,
I’m using Side Matter and it’s perfect. Except for this one post, all my notes are so well behaved. For this post, which is really long, the notes are misaligned starting from the second one. The first one show up fine, but the second is down from where it’s supposed to be by several paragraphs, and vice versa with the third and fourth,… To the point that the sidebar is much, much longer than the post itself now.
Do you know of anything possible problems that might be causing this? The theme I’m using is Underscores with modifications by me and there’s no CSS conflicts that I could find.
Thanks so much and great work!
]]>Hey there, a friend of mine is running Side Matter on two of his sites. On one of them, though, the numerals aren’t showing up – instead, it looks like they’re being replaced with a thin line above:
https://www.culturemaven.com/blog/2015/06/17/daily-chronicle-culture-maven-goes-paperless/
any help you could give would be appreciated. Thanks!
]]>When I’m make in the note a table this is shown in the note and shown in the post. How to fix it?
see: https://www.dboverijssel.nl/archieven/4671 note 24, 25, and 26.
I’ve been using Side Notes with Pilcrow for about 6 months and haven’t had any problems. However, today I noticed that my side notes don’t appear. There are no numbers in the text and no footnotes in the sidebar. I haven’t changed anything else in my site.
https://www.100favealbums.net/
Here is the first paragraph of code showing a footnote that should appear at the end of the paragraph:
<a href="https://www.100favealbums.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/happy-days.jpg"><img src="https://www.100favealbums.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/happy-days-227x300.jpg" alt="happy days" width="227" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-4049" /></a>In 1974 the TV program <em><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t04gq_kYhOY">Happy Days</a></em> hit the American airwaves. <em>Happy Days</em> was a situation comedy set in 1950s, dawn of rock n' roll Milwaukee, about a teenager, Richie Cunningham, and his family and friends. It was a typical sit-com of the day, featuring gentle humor and everyday story lines that made it popular with both kids and adults. It rarely, if ever, pushed boundaries or courted controversy, and until it "<a href="https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jump+the+shark">jumped the shark</a>," in an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ZGKI8vpcg">episode</a> that spawned the phrase "jumping the shark," it was a funny family TV program of the type rarely seen these days on network TV.[ref]However, <a href="https://disneychannel.disney.com/girl-meets-world">The Disney Channel</a> and <a href="https://www.teennick.com/shows/drake-and-josh/">Nickelodeon</a> have continued to churn out mostly weak versions of these types of sitcoms.[/ref]Really, like the plugin, but it would be even better if it could work with existing multimarkdown footnotes rather than requiring its own dedicated shortcode.
I have no idea whether it’s possible, but just raising it as a wishlist item for potential consideration.
]]>Sidematter is great and is displaying my references perfectly. Unfortunately I want to be able to move the title of the sidebar down the page a bit. I have articles that have a title then some author info and then an abstract and then the article proper. The title of the sidematter widget is References and it shows up right at the top of the page beside the first line of the title and there are no references until way further down the page so the title is just hanging there looking stupid. Is there a way to set the widget title to display further down the page?
]]>I have a couple of WordPress sites on different web servers, and see this problem on both of them, in addition to some other sites using this plugin.
Has anyone noticed the same problem?
]]>Hello.
I wanted to know if there is some way to indicate a specific reference to use format style none. Like [ref format_style=”none”]No style[/ref]. Also, I would like to have an attribute not to show the sup number on the text for that specific format style none reference.
Thanks.
PS: Awesome plugin!
]]>This plugin doesn’t work on left sidebar, just on the right.
]]>Hi,
Is there a way to make side notes work also in custom post types as well as in posts?
Many thanks
]]>Hi,
I would like to use the SideMatter plugin on our theme. I’ve incorporated a sidebar, installed the plugin, placed the widget in the sidebar, but nothing shows up in my sidebar.
I also tried the shortcode, again the same problem.
Is there something I am doing wrong? My wordpress version is 4.0.1 and our theme is based on Twenty-Thirteen.
Thanks in advance.
]]>Hello, Is it possible to start the note at a certain number.
I mean. I start on page 1 with note 1 to 10 on page 2 starts the note with 11 to 20.
Now it begins on page 2 again with 1.
Best regards;

]]>I’m having the Doubling Issue another user described with the Implicit theme (https://themeforest.net/item/implicit-fullscreen-blazingfast-magazine-theme/8180897)
I switched themes back to a stock theme without disabling any other plugins and managed to have Side Matter work fine.
What’s odd is that Side Matter seems to work here:
https://tenemu.com/2014/08/prairie-bomb/
But not here:
https://tenemu.com/2014/08/founders-brewing-co-rubaeus/
Any help?
]]>Hi,
I’m trying to find what I’m missing in my source to get the notes into place. This is the code generated by the plugin:
<div id="secondary" class="widget-area" role="complementary">
<aside id="side-matter-2" class="widget widget_side_matter side-matter">
<h3 class="noten"></h3>
<ol class='side-matter side-matter-list' style='list-style-type: decimal; color: #ff543a;'>
<li id='note-1' class='side-matter side-matter-note'>
<div class='side-matter side-matter-text' style='color: #777777;'>
<p>testje</p>
</div>
</li>
<li id='note-2' class='side-matter side-matter-note'>
<div class='side-matter side-matter-text' style='color: #777777;'>
<p>Dit is een voetnoot</p>
</div>
</li>
</ol>
</aside>
</div><!-- #secondary -->And I’m not sure if there’s anything missing, but I’m looking for something functional to get the notes into place. I just can’t find too many examples online. I found this one:
https://arjunbalaji.com/books/ and this page has this in it’s code:
<li class="side-matter side-matter-note" id="note-1" style="margin-top: 0px; opacity: 1;">I know margin-top: 0px doesn’t do much there, but I don’t have the style-thingy there at all.
Thanks for your time!
]]>Hi, thanks for your plugin.
I have not found support in similar topics that could help me.
The plugin operation very well, but when the notes are particularly long, the note is superimposed on the iPad as show here (https://unaltramusica.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/fromipad.png).
On desktop browsers everything is ok.
The site is: https://unaltramusica.net
Can you help me?
Thanks
I saw your solution below, but I cannot for the life of me figure out where to stick the solution you reccomended:
li.side-matter-note {
list-style-type: decimal;
}Any help is greatly appreciated.
]]>Seems like the current version of wordpress I have (or the genesis theme I am using) is incompatible with side matter. Other wordpress footnote plug-ins seem to work just fine (fd-footnotes, etc.), but i’d much rather have the notes appear to the side.
please advise ??
]]>I am new to wordpress and recently began using the genesis framework with a child theme for publishing a blog version of a book. I followed all the instructions, and included the side matter widget not only in the primary sidebar but also, for testing purposes, in other areas on the page just to see if it worked. I used the [ref] sidenote here [/ref] in a few places on the post and not only did I not see a numeral in the text itself, but no sidenote or any indication that side matter was working anywhere.
does this plug-in work within the genesis framework? if not, are there alternatives out there that place footnotes in the sidebar (and not at the bottom)?
thanks!
]]>Side-matter is a great plugin! Thanks for developing it!!
I just wanted to report that there is a conflict with the “NextGEN Facebook: Open Graph + Twitter Card Meta Tags” plugin.
If you use the Open Graph plugin the sidenotes start counting at 20 (numbers in the text) and are not shown. I have not been able to figure out how to use both plugins.
]]>In order to prevent users finding that the page scrolls to the top if they accidentally click on a footnote number within the main text, I have implemented the following code:
a.side-matter:link {
pointer-events: none;
cursor: default;
}This works in every modern browser except IE11, although IE11 claims to support the pointer-events: none property. (Perhaps this is only for SVGs?)
Do you have any suggestion as to how I can achieve the same thing for IE11?
