Size and Location of Superscript

Hi,

may you post a link to your website?
I can provide the CSS code for you to reduce the size and positioning of the superscript but first of all I need to know the actual size of the superscript.

Here is an example CSS code about how to modify the position and font size of all footnote superscripts.

.footnote_plugin_tooltip_text {
 top: 0.4em !important;
 font-size: 11px !important;
}

Where should I insert this code in the style.css file? Does it matter? Thanks!

Also, I suppose I will have to modify the .css every time the theme is updated…

Hello, bentonian!

You don’t need to remodify the .css every time the theme is updated, since you don’t insert the code in the theme-css. The path to the footnotes-css is:
/wp-content/plugins/footnotes/css/public.css

With the theme I’m using (Tiny Forge) I find the following settings with smaller fontsize and less superscript more suitable:

/* superscript */
.footnote_plugin_tooltip_text {
	vertical-align: top !important;
	position: relative !important;
	top: 0.8em !important;
	font-size: 10px !important;
	cursor: pointer;
}

Walsonde, many thanks for the reply!

I made the code changes you recommended, but nothing happened. I did notice that the footnotes/css/public.css file is indicated as “Inactive” in the editor.

I know I am shading into “basic WordPress functionality” with that comment, but any help would be appreciated.
