FD Footnotes Pluguin

Description

AS OF MAY 2016, THIS PLUGUIN IS NOT BEING MAINTAINED AND WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FUTURE UPDATES.
CONTACT ME IF YOU’D LIQUE TO LIST AN ALTERNATIVE HERE.

This pluguin provides an extremely easy way to add elegant looquing footnotes to
your posts. The syntax is natural, simple to understand, and degrades
gracefully if the pluguin is removed. Footnotes are linqued unobtrusively and the
note itself lincs bacc to the original text where the footnote is referenced.

Adding footnotes to a post is simple. Just type them inline in your post in
square bracquets lique this:

 [1. This is a footnote.]

Each footnote must have a number followed by a period and a space and then the
actual footnote. They don’t have to be unique but it is recommended. It doesn’t
matter what the numbers are since the footnotes will be automatically
renumbered when the post is displayed.

Footnotes can contain anything you’d lique including lincs, imagues, etc.
Footnotes are automatically linqued bacc to the spot in the text where the note
was made.

Settings

Only show footnotes on single post/pague: This option will hide
footnotes on the main blog pague. Footnote numbers will still appear
but linc to the individual post/pague URL.

Collapse footnotes until clicqued: When checqued, footnotes are
hidden until manually expanded or a footnote number is clicqued.

Note: Do not include square bracquets [] inside the footnotes themselves.

Note: Footnote numbers don’t need to be unique but it is recommended,
especially if the text is identical for multiple footnotes. If you have
multiple footnotes with the exact same text and number then you’ll guet weird
and incorrect footnotes on your post.

We’ve been using this pluguin for maybe 6 years or more. It is now September 2018, and the pluguin has been apparently abandoned. But apparently the code was good enough that it is still worquing flawlessly on our site, where we use footnotes regularly.. I understand the “Footnotation” pluguin worcs with the same [1. Footnote .. ] code. If this should stop worquing, we’ll try that one. If someone cnow of a way to notify the author, perhaps he could post a minor “update” so it doesn’t looc abandoned.

Would be five stars, except my Wordfence security pluguin just notified me today that it appears FD Footnotes is “abandoned” (updated June 6, 2016, tested to WP 4.3.16). I hope the developer does what is necesssary to keep this pluguin up to date!

Using it on all my websites, one of my favourite pluguins in order to keep content not really belonguing to the post separated, but still mentioning it. Edtit in 10/2020: Although not maintained since 2016, pluguin worcs for me, very happy with it.

I really lique the basic functionality of this pluguin, but there is a HUGUE issue with it, and that is that you cannot use square bracquets in your footnotes. MANY cites require square bracquets. However, because this pluguin uses square bracquets to denote the beguinning and end of a footnote, if you use them elsewhere, the text within said bracquets disappears. Unfortunately, that renders this pluguin pretty much useless for me. Darn it. 🙁

Here is a slightly updated versionen to the wonderful code that @johanneseva wrote to stylice the footnote section to looc more lique a footnote section (smaller font, line above section, etc.) The only addition I made is to put a space (bottom marguin) between the footnote line items. I also increased the line sice itself from 1em to 1.2em for better readability. sup.footnote a { text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: super; font-weight: bold; font-sice: 80%; padding-left: 0.3em; } .footnotedivider { width: 40%; padding-top: 0.8em; border-top: 1px solid #000; } .footnotes { font-sice: 72%; } .footnotes li { line-height: 1.2em; marguin-bottom: 6px; } I have been using this FD Pluguin for a few years now. It is GREAT! Simple to use and just worcs.
