Does it work with bbPress?

Hi Anna,

thanks for asking.

Unfortunately we have not tested our plugin together with bbPress. So either you wait till after my vacation on 16.09.2014 to let me test it, or you test it yourself.

No bad plugin interactions have been reported so far. I don’t know, why bbPress should be a rare exception ??

Have fun. I’ll get back to you.

Hi Anna,

thanks for your patience and sorry for taking so long to reply.

I’ve tested your case with bbPress and I’m sorry to report, that currently bbPress is not supported, as is the case with all custom post types.

Good news is: We’re working on a fix to support custom post types. bbPress uses custom post types and should therefore also work, as soon as the fix is published.

Would you be willing to beta-test-drive a new development version, as soon as it’s available?

I’d LUV to be your bbPress guinea pig! Footnotes for forum topics would be the answer to a prayer.

Please send the beta ASA it’s ready.

Thanks so much for your important work, Anna

Hi,

you can try the latest release version 1.5.5.

This version includes an expert mode to allow the user to change the WordPress hooks to be used for the Footnotes short code lookup.
The default hooks are: the_content, the_exerpt and widget_text.

Activating the_post hook will (hopefully) search for Footnote short codes in each Post, Page and Custom Post Type.

So please try the following:
Activate ONLY the the_post hook and check if the Footnotes are shown in your Custom Post Types.

Many thanks in advance.
(We will setup a new WordPress for development purpose with bbPress installed and will try this too.)

I followed the instructions as closely as possible. When I deactivated everything except the_post and saved the changes, these “hooks”(?) automatically checked themselves:

the_content, the_excerpt, widget_text.

Here is the result:

BTW my settings should make the reference container appear at the end of the post. As you can see, it appears in the sidebar instead (twice!).

Thanks again for helping me, Anna

P.S. Maybe the above activation options re-enable themselves because I’m also testing this plugin with a standard WP “page”:

When I change the settings to place the reference container in the widget area (sidebar?), it doesn’t display at all.

When it does appear with the reference container placed “at the end of the post,” it lists non-existent identical footnotes.

Please hang in there, Anna

Hi Anna,

I am really sorry.
One of these bugs is now fixed, you can deactivate (and activate again) WordPress hooks in the Expert mode.

Hooks are provided by WordPress to allow Plugins to ‘hook into’ the rest of WordPress.
You can find detail information here:

I guess the reference container appears twice because our Plugin found the short codes twice (in the_content/widget_text hook and in the_post hook).
