Footnotes Made Easy is a fork of <a href="https://github.com/drzax/wp-footnotes" title="Github - wp-footnotes" rel="nofollow ugc">WP Footnotes</a>, a plugin by Simon Elvery.
For the latest code, planned enhancements and known issues, visit the <a href="https://github.com/altvisewp/footnotes-made-easy/" title="Github" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub page</a>.
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<iframe loading="lazy" class="youtube-player" width="750" height="422" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bl9p2-lSZMU?version=3&rel=1&showsearch=0&showinfo=1&iv_load_policy=1&fs=1&hl=en-US&autohide=2&wmode=transparent" allowfullscreen="true" style="border:0;" sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox"></iframe>
Creating a footnote is simple; wrap your footnote text in double parentheses:
<pre><code>This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)).
</code></pre>
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.
<h3>Settings</h3>
The settings page is organised into four tabs:
<ul>
<li>Display — Control footnote identifier style, back-link format, header and footer text, and tooltip behaviour.</li>
<li>Behaviour — Configure combining identical footnotes, back-link position, and processing priority.</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>Advanced — Change the opening and closing delimiters.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Paginated Posts</h3>
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 <code></code> marker:
<pre><code>
</code></pre>
Replace <code>5</code> with the number you want the first footnote on that page to start at.
<h3>Referencing</h3>
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:
<pre><code>((ref:1))
</code></pre>
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.
<h3>Multisite Support</h3>
On WordPress multisite networks, the plugin can be configured from the network admin in two modes:
<ul>
<li>Network managed — all settings controlled centrally; the Footnotes menu is hidden from subsite admins</li>
<li>Subsite override — each subsite admin can manage their own footnote settings independently</li>
</ul>

Footnotes Made Easy is fully internationalised and ready for translation.

Footnotes Made Easy


Amazing work and great that the developer continued the former footnotes plugin - very much appreciate it. The plugin works like a charm. THANKS!


GREAT


Adding footnotes is really easy, and they have nice links that go back to the footnote in the post.


Makes it really easy to create footnotes


Happy with this plugin as a seamless replacement for an old footnotes plugin that had stopped working with php8.


Works great

This plugin was great. Then the original developer got busy and passed it to another developper, who in months hasn't fixed small bugs that users takes the time to report, claims to be PHP 8.2 compliant, which is not. I believe the new owner was the wrong choice.

Plugin not updated anymore

Allows post authors to easily add and manage footnotes in posts and pages.

ContentSage is an AI blog writer for WordPress that generates SEO-optimised long-form posts with verified academic citations, automatic internal linking, and native Gutenberg output. Built for content creators who refuse to publish generic AI slop.
While other AI plugins just generate text, ContentSage architects a complete ranking strategy:
<ul>
<li>The Weaver’s Web (Internal Linking) — Stop manually hunting for link opportunities. ContentSage crawls your site and injects relevant internal links into every new post, passing link equity to your money pages automatically.</li>
<li>The Truth Spell (Citation Verification) — Protect your reputation. Every factual claim is validated against a database of 200 million academic papers, and real citations are added to the post.</li>
<li>Visual Alchemy — Walls of text don’t rank. ContentSage automatically designs data visualisations and infographics so readers stay on the page longer.</li>
<li>Technical SEO Schema — Auto-generated JSON-LD schema, FAQ markup, and meta-tag population for Yoast, RankMath, and AIOSEO.</li>
</ul>
Perfect for SEO agencies, affiliate marketers, and business owners who need programmatic-SEO quality at the click of a button.
The plugin itself does not generate content locally. All AI processing, research, citation verification, and internal-link analysis happen on ContentSage servers; the plugin receives finished posts via an authenticated REST endpoint, converts the HTML to Gutenberg blocks, and creates the WordPress post.
Key Features
<ul>
<li>AI-Powered Content — Receive SEO-optimised blog posts generated by ContentSage directly into WordPress.</li>
<li>Verified Citations — Every fact includes a source citation, maintaining editorial integrity.</li>
<li>Auto Internal Linking — ContentSage analyses your existing content and adds relevant internal links.</li>
<li>Gutenberg Native — Content arrives as native Gutenberg blocks: paragraphs, headings (H2–H6), lists, blockquotes, code blocks, and images.</li>
<li>SEO Ready — Automatically populates meta title and description for Yoast SEO, RankMath, and AIOSEO (v4 Models API).</li>
<li>Draft or Publish — Posts can arrive as drafts for review, publish immediately, or be scheduled for a future date.</li>
<li>Featured Images — Featured images are automatically downloaded and added to your Media Library.</li>
<li>Author Attribution — Assign generated posts to any WordPress author on your site.</li>
<li>Connection Status — Clear dashboard indicator showing whether your site is connected.</li>
</ul>
How It Works
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to Settings → ContentSage Connector and enter your ContentSage API key.</li>
<li>Your site is now connected. ContentSage can publish content directly to your WordPress installation.</li>
<li>Review and edit posts from your WordPress dashboard before publishing (if using draft mode).</li>
</ol>
<h3>External Service</h3>
This plugin connects WordPress to the ContentSage service, a third-party SaaS operated by Ganda Tech Services Pty Ltd (Australia). The service is required for the plugin to function — without an active ContentSage account and API key, the plugin has no content to deliver.
What the service does
ContentSage performs AI research, long-form blog post generation, academic citation verification, and internal-link analysis. These operations cannot reasonably be performed locally on a self-hosted WordPress server: they require large language models, web research, and a vector index of your existing site content, all hosted on the ContentSage backend.
What data is sent to the service
The plugin makes outbound HTTPS requests to <code>https://write-gts.cchk.info</code> (the live ContentSage backend) under the following circumstances:
<ul>
<li>When you save your API key in Settings → ContentSage Connector, the plugin POSTs to <code>/api/v1/verify-plugin-key</code> with: the API key, your <code>site_url</code>, your WordPress version, and the plugin version. This is used to validate the key and pair your site to your ContentSage account.</li>
<li>When you click Test Connection in the settings page, the same request is made to confirm the key is still valid.</li>
</ul>
The plugin itself does not send post content, user data, page views, or any other tracking information to the ContentSage service. Posts move in the opposite direction: ContentSage pushes finished posts into WordPress via the plugin’s authenticated REST endpoint.

The plugin is developed and maintained by Ganda Tech Services Pty Ltd.
