Hi,
I’m glad that you’ve got a working solution.

You’ll note however that when added to the embedded custom CSS, where it has high priority, this code disables all tables’ borders.

That is why WordPress adds many classes so we can make more fine-grained selections.

Best regards,

Hi @ragonesi,

Thanks a lot for reporting this. v2.0.0 was released in a huge urgency with many broken websites. The disappearance of the expand/collapse button is unintentional and needs to be fixed.

As a consequence I’ve marked the topic as unresolved again. Please don’t be afraid, and feel free to report anything.

Thanks,
@pewgeuges

Hi @ahmadword,

While I do see the blank between the content and the authors list, I also see that it is filled with a column showing the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 4 in a stack, on top of each other, like they were footnote IDs.

In the page source unveiled by Google Chrome developer tools inspector, a search for “footnote” brings up 8 occurrences at 4 instances of a footnote, each one with a class “modern-footnotes-footnote” for the footnote anchor, and “modern-footnotes-footnote__note” for the tooltip infobox span.

But in the page content I’m unable to retrieve the footnote anchors.

That lack tends to confirm my initial suspicion that the footnotes list is lacking the footnote texts, only featuring the IDs. Clicking on an ID does nothing.

Before checking the source code in the Google Chrome inspector, I noticed that the page is copy-protected, including display of the source. To assist you for that purpose, I infringed that prohibition.

But before, without knowing yet what footnote plugin is used—assuming it is footnotes—I searched a copy-protection plugin on Google and installed WP Content Copy Protection & No Right Click, only to see that the footnotes plugin keeps working properly. Modern Footnotes does, too.

After checking and trying the (very few) settings of Modern Footnotes, I still don’t understand where the half-empty footnotes list comes from, since Modern Footnotes doesn’t feature any, and displays notes inline on click.

To get a more functional website, I’d suggest that you switch footnote plugins, and in the settings of footnotes choose “user defined” for the shortcodes, [mfn] and [/mfn] as start and end tags.

Please let us know if that solves your problem.

Best regards.

Hi @gernsheim,

Thanks for reporting. I’m saddened that it didn’t work. However today was the release of the new v2.0.0 of footnotes, so when you have the opportunity to update and check, please do a hard reload Ctrl?+?F5 so as to reload the stylesheets too. I hadn’t time to think at versioning the plugin’s public.css.

If the issue persists, please let us know the printer and format, e.g. Chrome to PDF.

Anyway the extra backlink icons are now gone, and your print output is not cluttered at this point any longer.

But the tooltip text should not show up inline any longer either.

Fixed in footnotes 2.0.0.

Thanks again!

Hi @arabpage,

In today’s footnotes?2.0.0, clicking a footnote anchor will take you to the note in the list, and clicking the number there will take you back to the inline anchor, thanks to using a new jQuery library and fixing the old one.

By contrast, hovering a footnote anchor will display the tooltip infobox, also while using WordPress?5.5, thanks to using the new jQuery library (and fixing the old one).

Hopefully that solved any problem you encountered.

If not, please let us know by sharing a live website with footnotes?2.0.0 enabled.

Sorry for the trouble you experienced due to the outdated library.

Best regards.

Sorry, the problem was eventually due to an outdated jQuery library used by the plugin. This has been fixed by using a new library and fixing the old one.

The fix is in today’s v2.0.0. Our apologies for the delay.

Does the new release let your website display properly?

This problem is now solved as a part of v2.0.0 released today.

Sorry for the delay.

@mmallett, @vishae, I apologize for my misdiagnose, and acknowledge the outdated jQuery library.

I’m sorry for the outage and the troubles you went through.

footnotes is now fixed and available in its today’s v2.0.0 release.

Thanks for using footnotes.

Hi @ragonesi,

In the latest version 2.0.0 released today, the backlink symbol is dropped as the hyperlink goes on the ID in front of it.

In the process, the problem you reported has hopefully been solved.

However, more fixes are still in progress.

I’m marking this thread as resolved but please feel free to let us know whether you are actually done, as well as to report any other issues involving footnotes.

Best regards,
@pewgeuges

Hi @twellve_million,

Thank you for reporting, and thanks for the link.

This problem has been fixed for the current release v2.0.0 thanks to @vonpiernik’s solution shared in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/tooltip-hover-not-showing/#post-13456762

The fix was to make the a.browser check conditional, and to link to the jQueryUI library.

Best regards.

Hi @ragonesi,

I feel very concerned about the trouble you are experiencing, and can confirm how tricky CSS may be. Sometimes it takes concatenating many selectors or it will be overridden by other rules.

The best way to learn by whose is to use the browser’s inspector, in the developer tools. The method is to point one bordered table cell, to look up the content of the tooltip, and to click and check under “styles” what rules are overridden and which ones are not.

Flushing caches may not be required for new rules to take effect. Those added in the embedded custom CSS through the WP GUI are parsed by the browser whenever the page is loaded. Those added in style sheets may take effect after a hard reload by Ctrl?+?F5.

The code layout doesn’t matter, to that extent that minified CSS has everything in one single line. The editors neither, beside that the reference container is not prone to being edited therein.

Now what I’d suggest is that you share any of the following:
– The code you added;
– The URL of one of the pages you need help with;
– Screenshots of any relevant section of the style inspector.

I’m sorry not to be able to post a ready-to-use solution.

Kind regards,
@pewgeuges

The plugin author released v2.0.0 a couple hours ago, and the jQuery upgrade is part of it.

Thank you all for your patience.

A special thank you to @vonpiernik!
