Doesn't work in custon post types

Hi aenniss,

Footnotes will only be replaced in the content of any post/page, their expert and in the widget text area.

I guess WordPress uses any other filter function to display custom post types. We will check this and will fix it ASAP.

Stay tuned.

Thanks for the fast reply!
I had to create custom post because the basic is just not enough, so all of the code exists outside of the_content().
If there was a way to define area/div/etc that will contain the custom content and allow the footnotes to read thru that, it would be fantastic.
I created custom fields so maybe you can provide interface (input field?) in which i can add the names of my custom fields (separated with comma?) and those will get filtered out? Just an idea…
I’m just an old-time web designer who just now learning WordPress, so i might not use the right terminology, sorry in advance.

Hi Alexandra,

I think there’s no need to apologize.

Making footnotes available in custom post types is one of the next big features after fixing current bugs.

Research regarding this topic is underway.

Stay tuned.

Thanks for the fantastic plugin, folks. Just wanted to voice that we’re in the same boat as Alexandra, and would love to be able to use footnotes for custom post templates. Thanks!

Hey guys,

I just read a lot of posts in the WordPress codex about Custom Post Types.
It won’t be easy to implement Footnotes into Custom Post Types because the most of them doesn’t use WordPress hooks and filters.

But…
In one of the next versions I will implement a function to overwrite the appearence of all Footnotes in the content of each post/page/custom post type.
After using the function the whole footnotes code will appear in the body of the post/page/… and no WordPress hook/filter will be needed.

This sounds great!
Thank you in advance!
I’m looking forward to this change.

Hi Alexandra,

hopefully good news for you. Our Plugin got a new hook to the Post object after loading it from the WordPress database to replace each appearance of Footnotes inside the Post content and excerpt.

I haven’t work with custom post types yet so I wasn’t able to check it in all variants.
Would be nice to get a report about the new hook introduced in version 1.5.4.

I’ll mark this topic as resolved. If it ain’t working, please feel free to open a new thread in the forum.
