Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Easy Footnotes
Simply use the shortcode [efn_note]Footnote content goes here[/efn_note] and Easy Footnotes will enter numeric footnotes into your post that open on hover and take the user to the footnote at the bottom of the page on click. That's awesome! I know, but that's not really a question.
Because it's easy. And it's integrated with the qTip2 jQuery plugin to display your footnotes in lovely tooltips on hover. Plus it automatically numbers your footnotes in the order you enter them into your post.
Just use the efn_footnote_label filter in your functions.php to edit the output. function efn_change_label_markup( $output, $label ) { return '' . $label . ''; } add_filter( 'efn_footnote_label', 'efn_change_label_markup', 10, 2 );
Place the following code in your functions.php file to disable the qTip features. function efn_deregister_scripts() { wp_deregister_style( 'qtipstyles' ); wp_deregister_script( 'imagesloaded' ); wp_deregister_script( 'qtip' ); wp_deregister_script( 'qtipcall' ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'efn_deregister_scripts' );
Use on the beginning of your page with the short code: [efn_reset][/efn_reset] This is a hard reset to fix a bug with themes/plugins using do_shortcode( get_the_content() ) outside the main loop and causing duplicate footnotes. 1.1.9 should have updates to not require this.
