Footnotes Plugin Frequently Asked Questions
Please check the user guide to learn more about this plugin
Can I add the same footnote on multiple posts?
Footnotes should be created specifically for each post. So, you can create the same footnote definition in any post you need.
Can I customize the appearance of footnotes?
Sure you can! Go to the Footnote styling section to create a unique appearance for your footnotes, including custom fonts, colors, sizes and weights of footnote descriptions and titles. You can customize footnote definitions block at the bottom of the page, tooltips and footnote link symbols.
Will footnotes appear on all pages and posts?
That’s up to you to decide. You can determine post types in which footnotes should or should not appear, as well as to exclude specified pages from displaying footnote information. And you define on your own each place where the footnote is displayed using a shortcode.
Where will my footnotes be displayed?
Footnotes appear at the bottom of pages and posts where you created them. They can also be displayed as tooltips on mouse hover on the footnote symbol link.

No, currently adding images is not supported. Each footnote definition can contain only text, a dashicon and an external link.

Michael Junker - Highly recommended!
I got the CM Footnotes Pro version of the plugin after comparing several other plugins. It has several advantages like ability to display an index of all footnotes on site and also ability to use footnote on several posts across the site. Highly recommended if you need such support for your articles and posts
