Installation

  1. Upload inline-footnotes folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Place [footnote] ... [/footnote] shortcodes in your content.

Value-for-value donations are welcome at gavinr.com/donate. Thanks!

What shortcode settings are there?

Right now the shortcode settings are:

  1. title – this is what will display in the box inline of your content (instead of “1, 2, 3, etc” wich happens by default if this is not included). Example: [footnote title="..."]This is a footnote![/footnote]. Note that you can use this to reset the numbers too, if you set title to a number like title="3" etc.
  2. symbol_background_color – set the background color of the inline “symbol” that shows up.
  3. symbol_text_color – set the text color of the inline “symbol” that shows up.
  4. background_color – set the background color of a single footnote.
  5. text_color – set the text color of a single footnote.

All the colors above take HTML Color Names or HEX codes (include the # sign).

Is this compatible with the Gutenberg Editor?

Yes it is. Just use your shortcodes inline the paragraph block just as you always have.
