Inline Footnotes Plugin

Enables adding footnotes via shortcodes in your content.

This allows you to easily add inline “footnotes” to your content. In places where you place the shortcode will appear a little number that is clickable to see the footnote content.

Example syntax: [footnote]This is my footnote.[/footnote]

Installation

  1. Upload inline-footnotes folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Place [footnote] ... [/footnote] shortcodes in your content.

What shortcode settings are there?

Right now the shortcode settings are:

  1. title – this is what will display in the box inline of your content (instead of “1, 2, 3, etc” wich happens by default if this is not included). Example: [footnote title="..."]This is a footnote![/footnote]. Note that you can use this to reset the numbers too, if you set title to a number like title="3" etc.
  2. symbol_background_color – set the background color of the inline “symbol” that shows up.
  3. symbol_text_color – set the text color of the inline “symbol” that shows up.
  4. background_color – set the background color of a single footnote.
  5. text_color – set the text color of a single footnote.

All the colors above take HTML Color Names or HEX codes (include the # sign).

Is this compatible with the Gutenberg Editor?

Yes it is. Just use your shortcodes inline the paragraph block just as you always have.
