Hi @dutchintouch ,

There is not a way to do that right now unfortunately. I’ll add that to the list of requested features so it can hopefully be developed sometime in the future.

Hi @jasongb71 ,

I don’t see the UX issue that you describe, but I do see that the footnote links are not working when you click on them. I also see this JavaScript error:

Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

Looking through the JavaScript loading on the page, it looks jQuery is being lazy loaded in after the Modern Footnotes JavaScript is loading. I assume there is some sort of page speed plugin you are using to change how JavaScript loads by default. Can you change it so jQuery is not lazy loaded, or so that the Modern Footnotes JS is also lazy loaded? (Either way should get the Modern Footnotes JS loading after jQuery)

Hi @barnabas1 ,

While this plugin is free and has no paid option (and therefore no paid development team supporting it), I prioritize keeping the plugin working smoothly and try my best to promptly address any features that come up. I don’t have as much time as I’d like to address new features or plugin compatibility issues, but I’ll do my best to always keep the core functionality working.

There are also a handful of other contributors who have helped code the plugin and may continue to do so since the plugin is open source.

Hi @jmfouquer ,

The h2 tag is set up in your theme to use a white font color. So, to get the Notes heading text to appear, you could either:

1. Set a tag other than h2 for the Heading Tag name for footnote list setting in Settings > Modern Footnotes
2. Add custom CSS that targets the h2.modern-footnotes-list-heading style and gives it a different font color

Hi @muscroftm ,

Thanks for writing in about this. I checked the site and the Modern Footnotes JavaScript isn’t getting loaded on the page. I tried updating one of my test sites to WordPress 6.6.2, and things are working properly on that site. Do you use any caching plugins that might be causing the JavaScript to not load on your site?

Hi @riyananu ,

You can display a list of footnotes at the bottom of the post by enabling the setting at Settings > Modern Footnotes > Display footnote list at bottom of posts

However, there is not currently a setting that would make clicking a footnote number scroll down to the list at the bottom of the page.

Hi @bullitt1973 ,

Yes, that’s possible! You’ll want to use this custom CSS, which you can enter in the Modern Footnotes settings:

.modern-footnotes-footnote__note {
line-height: 140%;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
}

Hi @modelaid ,

Thank you so much for contributing a translation for this plugin. I really appreciate the effort you put in to improve this for the community!

Hi @mmdwc ,

I’d have to look at this deeper to see the full cause, but at first glance this looks like a possible conflict between Modern Footnotes and another plugin, or perhaps something in the theme.

As a workaround in the short-term, you could try changing the shortcode to specify the reference number, for example, [mfn referencenumber=1]Je confirme cette évaluation[/mfn]

Sean

Thank you both for confirming!

Thanks for reporting this, @bbyrne and @invisibleira. I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue on my end, but I just did an update to the plugin that should hopefully fix this issue. Could you try version 1.4.19 and see if it works on your side?

Thanks,
Sean

Hi @vjuhasz,

Thank you for this feedback! I do agree that this would be a useful feature and will add it to the plugin development roadmap.

Hi @beithazohar, thank you for reporting this issue. I’ve just published a new version of the plugin. Can you check and see if that resolves the warnings you’re getting?

Thanks!
Sean

Hi @rfischmann,

There’s actually not currently the ability to customize the mobile version of footnotes, only options to change how it works on desktop.

And, the button in the Block Editor toolbar will still use “mfn” as the footnote shortcode, but if you’ve provided note as a custom shortcode, either will work for displaying footnotes on the site.

Best,
Sean

Hi @rfischmann,

You can make Modern Footnotes work with a custom shortcode. Under Settings > Modern Footnotes, you’ll modify the Modern Footnotes Custom Shortcode option and provide a value of note

Best,
Sean
