Frequently Asked Questions

Is your Plugin a fork of another Plugin?

No, this Plugin has been written from scratch. Of course some inspirations on how to do or how to not do things were taken from other plugins.

Your Plugin is awesome! How do I convert my footnotes if I used one of the other footnotes plugins out there?

  • For anyone interested in converting from FD Footnotes Plugin, see this write-up from footnotes user @southwest
  • From what we’ve researched, all other footnotes Plugins use open and close shortcodes, which can be left as-is. In the footnotes settings menu, you can setup footnotes to use the existing (i.e., previously-used) shortcodes. Too easy? Yippy Ki-Yey!
