Getting Started

Creating a footnote is incredibly simple – you just need to include your footnote in double parentheses (default, but you can change that), such as this:

This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)).

You can change the markup for the footnote in the settings page of the plugin.

The footnote will then appear at the bottom of your post/page.

Don’t put footnotes in short description / excerpts – the plugin won’t work there by design.

Or you can use a shortcode for where you want your footnotes to appear. The shortcode is “awef_show_footnotes“. The shortcode also accepts a parameter of the post id in format of ‘post_id=1’. If not presented, the global \WP_Post object will be used.

You can also use a PHP call in your templates or whatever you like by using the following:
AWEF\Controllers\Footnotes_Formatter::show_footnotes( array( ‘post_id’ => 1 ) );
Note: If you choose this way (above), you have to go to the plugin settings, and set “Do not autodisplay in posts” to true.
