• I have the plugin installed, and the shortcode is rendering correctly as numbers, but I can’t see anything when I hover over them. After several seconds, a mouseover text appears as it would for a title attribute of an image or link. It’s not a stylized footnote though.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi Jeff,

    It doesn’t seem like any scripts are being loaded in the footer of your site. It actually appears the entire footer doesn’t get output on your single post pages.

    Based on how it seems the page abruptly ends after the About the Author section I would guess it’s a plugin or something in the theme causing a PHP error.

    It could also be the theme doesn’t make use of the wp_footer() function on single pages. But since the footer doesn’t even show on single pages I lean towards a PHP error.

    You can try installing the Debug Bar plugin which will show you error messages in the Admin Bar. But as I think that is output in the wp_footer() as well it likely wouldn’t work on that page either.

    You can also take a look at this article on setting up debugging information.

    I’ve also written a post on debugging WordPress as well. You’re not getting a full white screen of death, but if it’s a PHP error this can help you determine the cause.

    To help you further debug I would need access to the site in order to take a look more closely at the code involved. But don’t share your admin credentials in the support forums. If you’d like me to take a look you can contact me by email at jason (at) jasonyingling.me

    Thanks for your patience and help! I hadn’t thought that the script would be in the footer. I had a lingering PHP error in my sidebar that killed output before the footer, but it hand’t been a problem for the rest of the theme, so it was low on my priority list.

    Love the plugin! It’s really helpful for including citations without needing cumbersome or ugly footnote lists. I’ll give a good review.
