Footnote problem

    Latest & greatest WordPress and Polylang versions, with PHP 8.2.

    The site runs two languages. Settings:
    – The language is set from content
    – Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks

    I’ve checked all the options under the “Synchronization” menu. It has been working fine for years.

    However, I’ve noticed a bug when using the WordPress Footnote option.

    It works fine with the same theme and plugins on sites without Polylang.

    With Polylang, it is buggy. When editing an article which has its other language version too, the footnotes disappear during the article editing.

    Eventually, I’ve noticed that the site “remembers” only the footnote version that I wrote/changed/updated and saved/published last. Hence, I get the footnote in one language on both articles (in both languages). Whichever one was last saved/updated.

    Another problem is that the footnote link doesn’t work with the “wrong language” page version. For example:

    If I edit the English page version and update/save the footnote:
    – That page version will work fine.
    – Other language page version will have the footnote in English, and the footnote link will not work.

    Hello,

    I’ve checked all the options under the “Synchronization” menu

    That’s likely the problem. I advise you to uncheck the custom fields synchronization. Footnotes are a new WP feature which use custom fields under the hood.
