footnote text showing after update

I fixed it by doing the following.

1. Comment out (using <!-- ... -->) [[FOOTNOTE TEXT]] in the tooltip div in footnote.html.

2. Save.

3. Reload the offending page.

4. Remove the <!-- ... -->.

5. Save.

6. Reload page.

I have no idea why that worked.

how would you even figure that out? I appreciate the answer, I am not sure that I even have access to the footnote.html so i’ll have to figure that out.

I guess I’d rather have a real fix then some strange magic-fix – but I am extremely impressed that you could figure such a thing out and appreciate your reply very much!

Hi guys,

many thanks for your request.

We will immediately check that issue and will fix it ASAP.

The footnotes in your example page are shown, but without any CSS styling. Have you changed something since your request?

@paullawleyjones

Did you had the same issue?

@lhopkin

I just had a look on your public page in detail and it seems that you don’t have the newest footnotes CSS stylesheet activated.

I guess your WordPress still has the old footnotes.css file in your cache and that’s why your mouse-over-box are displayed that way.

Can you please clear your cache once and try the mouse-over-box again?

Many thanks in advance.

@stefan Herndler

Yes, I did.

@lhopkin

The footnotes were displaying in a place they shouldn’t have been. So I started removing [[FOOTNOTE TEXT]] to see what would happen.

Just dumb luck.

Hi guys,

Caching on the server side seems to cause these issues.
I had the same problem.

Delete all contents of wp-content/cache/
WordPress or your caching plugin should then go ahead and rebuild the cache.

@stefan Herndler thanks for the replies (and other’s too) I haven’t gotten it to work yet. It is working on one post but I finally just had to rewrite the posts it wasn’t work on. I have cleared the cache when prompted by the plugin page. I will see if I can do a better job at clearing the cache and report back. Thanks

I am closer. Now the text is gone and just a “return” is included so the following text goes to the next line.

Will try some more cache clearing, maybe I am missing something. thanks

@mark.cheret I have W3 Total Cache installed. I told it to empty “empty all caches” but I don’t see it making a difference.

Still no luck here. Both posts using Footnotes have carriage returns after each footnote. Any suggestions?

I am having the same problem with all these extra carriage returns. Still hoping to resolve it…

I have adequately resolved the issue:
-I installed a plugin Preserved HTML Editor Markup to prevent wordpress from inserting <p> everywhere.
-Then I used the plugin Simple Custom CSS and added:

.footnote_plugin_index {
  font-weight: bold;
}

.footnote_plugin_text {
  display: inline
}

Sorry for leaving you hanging for a week. We’ll discuss the issue and get back to you.

Thanks @achievingsustainability, that fix worked for me. My second footnote is now inline.

Any idea how to make the footnote numbers display superscript?
