## Àpèjúwe

AS OF MAY 2016, THIS PLUGIN IS NOT BEING MAINTAINED AND WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY FUTURE
UPDATES.

This plugin provides an extremely easy way to add elegant looking footnotes to
 
your posts. The syntax is natural, simple to understand, and degrades gracefully
if the plugin is removed. Footnotes are linked unobtrusively and the note itself
links back to the original text where the footnote is referenced.

Adding footnotes to a post is simple. Just type them inline in your post in
 square
brackets like this:

    ```
     [1. This is a footnote.]
    ```

Each footnote must have a number followed by a period and a space and then the
 
actual footnote. They don’t have to be unique but it is recommended. It doesn’t 
matter what the numbers are since the footnotes will be automatically renumbered
when the post is displayed.

Footnotes can contain anything you’d like including links, images, etc.
 Footnotes
are automatically linked back to the spot in the text where the note was made.

#### Settings

**Only show footnotes on single post/page:** This option will hide
 footnotes on
the main blog page. Footnote numbers will still appear but link to the individual
post/page URL.

**Collapse footnotes until clicked:** When checked, footnotes are
 hidden until 
manually expanded or a footnote number is clicked.

_Note:_ Do not include square brackets [] inside the footnotes themselves.

_Note:_ Footnote numbers donÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’t need to be unique but it is recommended,

especially if the text is identical for multiple footnotes. If you have multiple
footnotes with the exact same text and number then you’ll get weird and incorrect
footnotes on your post.

WeÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ve been using this plugin for maybe 6 years or more. It is now
September 2018, and the plugin has been apparently abandoned. But apparently the
code was good enough that it is still working flawlessly on our site, where we use
footnotes regularly.. I understand the “Footnotation” plugin works with the same[
1. Footnote .. ] code. If this should stop working, weÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’ll try that

Would be five stars, except my Wordfence security plugin just notified me today 
that it appears FD Footnotes is “abandoned” (updated June 6, 2016, tested to WP 
4.3.16). I hope the developer does what is necessary to keep this plugin up to date!

Using it on all my websites, one of my favourite plugins in order to keep content
not really belonging to the post separated, but still mentioning it. Edtit in 10/
2020: Although not maintained since 2016, plugin works for me, very happy with it.

 [typotamer](https://profiles.wordpress.org/typotamer/) Ọwẹ́wẹ̀ 3, 2016

I really like the basic functionality of this plugin, but there is a HUGE issue 
with it, and that is that you cannot use square brackets in your footnotes. MANY
cites require square brackets. However, because this plugin uses square brackets
to denote the beginning and end of a footnote, if you use them elsewhere, the text
within said brackets disappears. Unfortunately, that renders this plugin pretty 
much useless for me. Darn it. 🙁

Here is a slightly updated version to the wonderful code that @johanneseva wrote
to stylize the footnote section to look more like a footnote section (smaller font,
line above section, etc.) The only addition I made is to put a space (bottom margin)
between the footnote line items. I also increased the line size itself from 1em 
to 1.2em for better readability. sup.footnote a { text-decoration: underline; vertical-
align: super; font-weight: bold; font-size: 80%; padding-left: 0.3em; } .footnotedivider{
width: 40%; padding-top: 0.8em; border-top: 1px solid #000; } .footnotes { font-
size: 72%; } .footnotes li { line-height: 1.2em; margin-bottom: 6px; } I have been
using this FD Plugin for a few years now. It is GREAT! Simple to use and just works.
