Hi there. This can be done. You’ll just need to add some CSS to your theme.
First we’ll want to add a pseudo :after element to the <a> element for the footnote. All that takes is this block of CSS:
.easy-footnote a:after {
content: "*";
}
You can set content to whatever you want. I’m just using an asterisk there to keep things simple. You can use any HTML entity char code you would want there as well. Or if you want to get fancy you can use WordPress’ built in dashicons.
Next, we’ll want to hide the number. Luckily that’s in a <sup> element that we don’t need in this case so we can just add this rule:
.easy-footnote a sup {
display: none;
}
There you go. Now all of the instances of the footnote in the post content will show with an * instead of a number. If you want to remove the numbers from the
<ol> at the bottom of the post. If you were to add them back in that is. You could add this to make it a disc:
.post_copy ol.easy-footnotes-wrapper {
list-style-type: disc;
}
