Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Footnotes & Content

Use a footnote in your post by using the footnote icon in the WordPress editor or by using a formatter character (this is " ((" for opening (beginning) of the footnote and "))" for closing the footnote)

There probably be implemented some importer in the future version of the plugin, but as far as your current plugin is using opening / closing characters, you can change the opening and closing tags of the Footnotes in the plugin settings to the current ones. Example: Lets say currently you are using plugin which marks a footnote like this: [[this will be a footnote]] Then go to settings and change the Open and Close footnote tag to "[[" and "]]" respectively.

Yes - there is an import/export functionality in the plugin - just make the changes, export them, and then include where you want. Or store them, so you can always get back to them.

Yes it can. The easiest way is to use the CSS editor in your theme customizer. For example, 'ol.footnotes' refers to the footnotes list in general and 'ol.footnotes li' the individual footnotes. You can edit the styling in the plugin settings directly (Options page), or empty the styling and use your own the way it fits your needs best. CSS classes plugin is using are: - footnotes - for the < ol> - footnote - for the elements inside - awesome-footnotes-header - for the footnotes header wrapper - awesome-footnotes-footer - for the footnotes footer wrapper

By default it does: its background, border and text are derived from your theme's text color, so it adapts to light and dark themes. To set exact colors, choose "Custom color" under TOC Background Color / TOC Title Color (Footnotes > TOC > General), optionally with a separate color for dark mode. Themes and custom CSS can also set these CSS variables: --awef-toc-bg, --awef-toc-border, --awef-toc-title and --awef-toc-text. For example: .awef-toc-container { --awef-toc-bg: #f5f5f5; }

Yes. You can use the Awesome Footnotes button in the toolbar of the Block Editor to move the selected text into a footnote.
