Have Footnotes Appear On Front Page

Anyone?

The footnotes appear on the page of the post, but it doesn’t appear for the post when it is on the front page. How do you add the bottom footnotes to the front page?

You mean for example a sticky page, right?

I consider this rather a feature than an inconvenience, because the tooltip always displays nicely and if you click on a footnote number you’ll be taken to the post’s page.

You can make them appear with a change in line 103 in easy-footnotes.php. Change…

if (is_singular() && is_main_query()) {

to…

if (is_main_query()) {

The ugly side effect is that they appear now also below the posts where only the first few lines (until the <!--more--> tag) are displayed. I didn’t test if there are other side effects, too. No guarantees. Maybe the plugin author knows a better solution.

Is there a way in the plugin core files to change the tag [note] to say [r]?

That’s in line 42:

add_shortcode( 'note', array($this, 'easy_footnote_shortcode') );

Change the'note' to something else.

That’s exactly how you would need to do it. Couldn’t have said it better myself. The is_singular was added to prevent footnotes from showing when <!–more–> tags are used.
