Mouse-Over Box

Hi Manuel,

thanks for your request.
We already know that issue and are currently working on it.

You can easily disable the mouse-over box by removing the following tag in “wp-content\plugins\footnotes\templates\footnote.html”:

[ [ FOOTNOTE TEXT ] ]

The mouse-over box is made of CSS code only, so you can also play with it in the “css\footnote.css” file.
Element class: “footnote_plugin_tooltip”

Have a nice day!

Hi Stefan,
Many thanks for the information and your quick reply!

Hi Manuel,

we have fixed the issue with the mouse-over-box and released a new version. Please check out our latest version 1.2.5.

Please have a look on it and leave a review ??

Many thanks for your support.

Hi Stefan,
Sorry but the issue is more or less the same. Two problems: (1) Because of the background color of the box (it seems transparent) the footnote is an overlay over the main text and (2) the footnote is shown in the main text. After moving the cursor over the footnote number, then the footnote text rearranges itself and is shown correctly.
The first problem is evident when I’m using FireFox and Chrome (Windows 8.1). The second problem is when using FireFox

So, I ended with your initial fix. Maybe in a future update the mouse-over box could be an option.

..I’m using version 1.2.5

Hi Manuel,

may you post an example page so we can have a look in detail on the footnotes styling your page is using?

It seems that your WordPress caches your pages and still has the old (version 1.2.4 or lower) footnotes CSS stylesheet activated. The footnotes 1.2.5 release has an updated CSS file to format the mouse-over-box.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

Caching on the server side seems to cause these issues.
We’ve checked it out and you’re also using a minify solution for css and js.

Delete all contents of wp-content/cache/
WordPress or your caching plugin should then go ahead and rebuild the cache and create new minified css and js versions.

Then everything should be fine.

Hi,
You can look at this page: https://zonaf8.com/25-aniversario-de-la-muerte-de-robert-mapplethorpe

About the server-side cache mentioned by mark.cheret, I assume the wp-content/cache/ is for a plugin like W3 Cache, because i dont see that directory in my installation. The plugin I use is Supercacher and, as suggested, I flushed it but still the same problem.

Thanks for your support!

Hi Manuel,

thanks for the post of an example page.

I had a look on it and couldn’t find any styling problem with your mouse-over-box.
I took a snapshot of it, you can find the image right here:

Stefan,
Many thanks for your support. It seems that caching may be the problem after all! I’ll look further in it.
Thanks again!

Hi, first thanks so much for this AWESOME plugin!

But, I started with v1.3.4 and am having some issues with the mouse-over display as well (though not sure quite the same issues).

Mine is mainly one of positioning. My blog has a right-side widget area, and when the footnote is near the right side of the body text, the box appears partially ‘under’ anything in that widget area, making it hard to read.

Maybe it could pop-up to the left instead of right when it is some percentage from the right edge?
Thanks!

Hi Steve.

Thanks for your report. We will consider the display of the mouse-over-box again in more detail. In further versions we also want to give the user the freedom to completely customize the mouse-over box.

I have a similar problem (WP 4.0). When footnote reference numbers happen to fall too near the right-hand margin, the tool-tip pop-up is hidden by the sidebar next to it:

Looking forward to using this powerful plugin, Anna
