After 9, Footnote Numers Begin Again with Zero

    WP 4.9.4
    Easy Footnotes 1.0.16
    bbPress 1.18.4*
    Suffusion 4.4.9 Child Theme

    I LUV Easy Footnotes because it suits the “scholarly” ambiance of my work and does exactly I want it to do. I have used it for years on two related sites.

    What a whacky thing! No one else has reported this problem, so I hope you can find the solution. I deactivated a finicky plugin that I suspected might be causing it, and it didn’t fix it.

    As you will see in the example [a standard WP page], all footnotes referenced in the text are numbered correctly and display the correct bibliographic info. The only problem is that the printable list is mis-numbered: 1–9, 0–9. etc.

    Countless thanks for your help, Anna

    *It doesn’t work with bbPress, so I “make do” with manual workarounds when posting topics or responses.

    Hi @type-historian,

    It looks like there is some CSS on your theme causing the first digit in two digit numbers to be hidden.

    If you adjust the padding-left on the ol element you can get the numbers to shown. Seen in action here: https://monosnap.com/file/OJx3qt7ARdQueSJUcW9FzdytkoG3o4

    You should be able to add the CSS via the Customizer > Additional CSS panel. To get there go to Appearance > Customize.

    This block of CSS should do it.

    ol {
    padding-left: 5px;
}

    Alternatively if you only want to target the Easy Footnotes ol (ordered list) you could do

    ol.easy-footnotes-wrapper {
    padding-left: 5px;
}

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you SO much! Your second suggestion works *perfectly* for standard WP pages like the example cited.
