<h3></h3>
<p>Posts and pages have their own characteristics and uses, but sometimes there is a need to display important, very short, time sensitive information which don’t really fit into a post or page. WP Notes Widget fills this gap. The visual design is similar to real sticky notes which adds to the effective communication of the message.</p>

<p>Footnotes Made Easy is a simple but powerful plugin for adding footnotes to your WordPress posts and pages. Wrap any text in double parentheses, and it becomes a footnote; automatically numbered, linked, and displayed at the bottom of your content.</p>
<p><strong>Full documentation is available at <a href="https://docs.altvisewp.com/footnotes-made-easy/" rel="nofollow ugc">docs.altvisewp.com/footnotes-made-easy</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>Key features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Simple inline syntax — wrap text in <code>(( ))</code> to create a footnote anywhere in a post or page</li>
<li>Combine identical footnotes automatically</li>
<li>Paginated post support with manual start number control</li>
<li>Reference a previous footnote by number using <code>((ref:1))</code></li>
<li>Pretty tooltips — show footnote content on hover using jQuery</li>
<li>Suppress footnotes on specific page types (home, archives, search, feeds)</li>
<li>Exclude footnotes from specific post categories or custom URLs</li>
<li>Dashboard with live usage stats; footnote counts across all posts and pages</li>
<li>Export/import Footnotes Made Easy settings across different sites</li>
<li>Multisite support; network-managed mode or per-subsite override</li>
<li>Compatible with the Classic Editor and the Gutenberg block editor</li>
<li>Lots of configuration options</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p><strong>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>.</strong></p>
<h3>Getting Started</h3>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="text-align:center; display: block;"><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></span>
<p>Creating a footnote is simple; wrap your footnote text in double parentheses:</p>
<pre><code>This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)).
</code></pre>
<p>The footnote will appear at the bottom of your post or page, automatically numbered and linked.</p>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> Include a space before your opening double parentheses or the footnote will not work.</p>
<h3>Settings</h3>
<p>The settings page is organised into four tabs:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Display</strong> — Control footnote identifier style, back-link format, header and footer text, and tooltip behaviour.</li>
<li><strong>Behaviour</strong> — Configure combining identical footnotes, back-link position, and processing priority.</li>
<li><strong>Suppress</strong> — 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><strong>Advanced</strong> — Change the opening and closing delimiters.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Paginated Posts</h3>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>
</code></pre>
<p>Replace <code>5</code> with the number you want the first footnote on that page to start at.</p>
<h3>Referencing</h3>
<p>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:</p>
<pre><code>((ref:1))
</code></pre>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Multisite Support</h3>
<p>On WordPress multisite networks, the plugin can be configured from the network admin in two modes:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Network managed</strong> — all settings controlled centrally; the Footnotes menu is hidden from subsite admins</li>
<li><strong>Subsite override</strong> — each subsite admin can manage their own footnote settings independently</li>
</ul>
<h3>Available in 8 Languages</h3>
<p>Footnotes Made Easy is fully internationalised and ready for translation.</p>

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.
