Perfect Replacement
We had a legacy plugin that we'd been struggling to replace. This was the perfect replacement - easy install, exact solution.

Did the trick - good support
This plugin was easy to use and has a lot of options including displaying all the footnotes seperately and as tooltips. Just what we needed. Support for stying was also very prompt and helpful.

The WordPress Footnotes plugin stands out for its quality
I have used several WordPress plugins with similar functions over time, but most of them are full of errors, are not properly maintained, and some haven't been updated in over 10 years. The WordPress Footnotes plugin stands out for its quality and truly deserves the developers' attention and support. I believe it should be further developed and maintained. Even if it becomes a commercial plugin in the future, I am sure it will continue to offer new and powerful features.

By Far the BEST Footnote Plugin
I researched all of the footnotes plugin on wordpress.org. This plugin is easy to use, looks great, provides multiple options to personalize, and itʻs simple to use css to stylize the footnotes. I highly recommend it over any of the plugins available. Note: I did the research on 2024-05-18.
