Footnotes Made Easy is a simple, but powerful, method of adding footnotes to your posts and pages.
Key features include…
<ul>
<li>Simple footnote insertion via double parentheses</li>
<li>Combine identical notes</li>
<li>Solution for paginated posts</li>
<li>Suppress Footnotes on specific page types</li>
<li>Option to display ‘pretty’ tooltips using jQuery</li>
<li>Lots of configuration options</li>
<li>And much, much more!</li>
</ul>
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 which was abandoned some years ago.
Please visit the <a href="https://github.com/lumumbapl/footnotes-made-easy/" title="Github" rel="nofollow ugc">Github page</a> for the latest code development, planned enhancements and known issues.

Creating a footnote is incredibly simple – you just need to include your footnote in double parentheses, such as this…
This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)).
The footnote will then appear at the bottom of your post/page.
Important note: Make sure you include a space before your opening double parentheses or the footnote won’t work!
<h3>Options</h3>
You have a fair few options on how the identifier links, footnotes and back-links look which can be found in the WordPress admin area under ‘Settings -> Footnotes’.
<h3>Paginated Posts</h3>
Some of you seem to like the paginating post, which is kind of problematic. By default, each page of your post will have its own set of footnotes at the bottom and the numbering will start again from 1 for each page.
The only way to get around this is to know how many posts are on each page and tell Footnotes Made Easy what number you want the list to start at for each of the pages. So at some point on each page (that is, between each <code></code> tag) you need to add a tag to let the plugin know what number the footnotes on this page should start at. The tag should look like this <code></code> where “5” is the number you want the footnotes for this page to start at.
<h3>Referencing</h3>
Sometimes it’s useful to be able to refer to a previous footnote a second (or third, or fourth…) time. To do this, you can either simply insert the exact same text as you did the first time and the identifier should simply reference the previous note. Alternatively, if you don’t want to do all that typing again, you can construct a footnote like this: <code>((ref:1))</code> and the identifier will reference the footnote with the given number.
Even though it’s a little more typing, using the exact text method is much more robust. The number referencing will not work across multiple pages in a paged post (but will work within the page). Also, if you use the number referencing system you risk them identifying the incorrect footnote if you go back and insert a new footnote and forget to change the referenced number.
<h3>Available in 8 Languages</h3>
Footnotes Made Easy is fully internationalized, and ready for translations.

Footnotes Made Easy


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.

To report bugs or request features, please go to https://github.com/digfish/papercite. Documentation can be found on http://papercite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/.
papercite format bibtex entries as HTML so they can be inserted in 
WordPress pages and posts. The input data is a bibtex file (either local 
or remote) and entries can be formatted by default using various 
predefined styles. Bibtex source file and a link to the publication are 
also available from the HTML.
Input: Sources files are BibTex files that can be:
<ul>
<li>WordPress media files (since 0.5.6)</li>
<li>Stored into a WordPress folder (with multi-site support);</li>
<li>An URL (e.g., from citeulike.org and bibsonomy.org);</li>
<li>A custom field when local to a post/page</li>
</ul>
Efficiency:
<ul>
<li>Database backend to speed up the processing by caching the bibtex 
entries for big BibTeX files.</li>
<li>Fast OsBiB-based parser</li>
</ul>
Filtering and grouping:
<ul>
<li>Filtering on publication type and authors</li>
<li>Regular expression filtering on any type</li>
<li>Publications can be grouped and sorted in various ways</li>
</ul>
Output:
<ul>
<li>Access the single bibtex entry source code to enable copy&paste 
(toggle-enabled visualization)</li>
<li>Easy output customisation with the use of two templates: one for 
each entry, one for the list of entries</li>
<li>Auto-detection of PDF files based on the BibTeX key (or on the PDF 
entry)</li>
<li>Citation mode: use references in the text and print the citations at 
the end of a block, page or post</li>
<li>Form to let the user dynamically filter the entries</li>
</ul>
Documentation can be found from within WordPress plugin list (click on 
the documentation link). You can see the documentation of the plugin 
as installed on my site <a href="http://www.bpiwowar.net/wp-content/plugins/papercite/documentation/index.html" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>.

<h3>Where is the documentation?</h3>
The documentation is now bundled with the plug-in. Go to the plug-in 
list page in the WordPress dashboard, and click on the documentation 
link.
<h3>How can I edit my bibtex files?</h3>
If your file is local to the blog installation, you have two options:
<ul>
<li>via FTP client with text editor</li>
<li>via WordPress Admin interface: Manage->Files->Other Files</li>
</ul>
** use wp-content/papercite-data/bib/mybibfile.bib as a path
Alternatively, you can maintain your updated biblilography by using 
systems such as citeulike.org and bibsonomy.org; specify the bib file 
using as a URL (e.g., in citeulike, you should use 
http://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/username)
<h3>How are the entries sorted?</h3>
Entries are sorted by year by default.
<h3>How can I personalize the HTML rendering?</h3>
The HTML rendering is isolated in two template files, located in the 
subfolders tpl (citation list rendering) and format (entry rendering).
<h3>How do I use the new textual footnotes ?</h3>
Using the new shortcode <code>[ppcnote]</code>. For example:
In molecular biology, the term double helix [ppcnote]usually applies to DNA[\ppcnote]
will result in a footnote being generated after the post text. The numbering of the footnotes is separated from the one used in the citations.
