Get Footnotes Made Easy Pro → Footnotes Made Easy is a fork of WP Footnotes, a plugin by Simon Elvery. For the latest code, planned enhancements and known issues, visit the GitHub page. Getting Started Creating a footnote is simple; wrap your footnote text in double parentheses: This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)). The footnote will appear at the bottom of your post or page, automatically numbered and linked. Important: Include a space before your opening double parentheses or the footnote will not work. Settings The settings page is organised into four tabs: Display — Control footnote identifier style, back-link format, header and footer text, and tooltip behaviour. Behaviour — Configure combining identical footnotes, back-link position, and processing priority. Suppress — Choose which page types (home, archives, search, feeds, previews) should not display footnotes. Also suppress by post type and exclude footnotes from specific URLs or post categories Advanced — Change the opening and closing delimiters. Paginated Posts By default, each page of a paginated post restarts footnote numbering from 1. To maintain a continuous sequence, add a start number tag between each marker: Replace 5 with the number you want the first footnote on that page to start at. Referencing To reference a previous footnote a second time, you can either repeat the exact same text (recommended — works with the Combine Identical Footnotes option) or use the number reference syntax: ((ref:1)) Note: number referencing does not work across pages in a paginated post, and risks pointing to the wrong footnote if new footnotes are inserted before it. The exact-text method is more robust. Multisite Support On WordPress multisite networks, the plugin can be configured from the network admin in two modes: Network managed — all settings controlled centrally; the Footnotes menu is hidden from subsite admins Subsite override — each subsite admin can manage their own footnote settings independently Available in 8 Languages Footnotes Made Easy is fully internationalised and ready for translation.
