    Hello, so here is the situation.
    – I have installed PODS Framework for Custom Post Types. I have 7 of them in place for my website.
    – I have set up the formatting in the general “Formatting” tab of the Awesome Footnotes plugin admin page. All good here. In it I have for example a header that states: Footnotes/Endnotes: and a ——- line following it. With some styling.

    Now here is the issue:

    – When I am in any custom post type, if I add a footnote it removes this formatting. It simply isn’t displaying. The only way I can make it display is by selecting and toggling the button: Reset to default (this post).

    The thing is, I think the logic is a bit backwards? Realistically, if I don’t do anything my default formatting should be set. That should flow across all pages and maybe when I do some custom stuff, then it changes. However, for example if I do A, B, C’s for example rather than 1, 2, 3’s I would think and would want that “Formatted Footnotes/Endnotes: and a ——- ” to remain. Not disappear, unless you give the user a place to affect this within the footnote meta on each page. I don’t think that is necessary at the moment.

    Overall, I think I shouldn’t have to select the “Reset to default (this post).” for every post to keep it default. (I hope you get what I am meaning here?)

    I have a project I’m about to do a bit work on this week and it would be great if this could be fixed before hand, otherwise, every page I need to select “reset to default (this post).” in order to keep my defaults that actually exist.

    Thanks,

    Jamie

    Hey Jamie,

    Sorry to hear that plugin gives you troubles.

    Unfortunately i have a flight early tomorrow and won’t be back till Sunday, so i can check/respond properly the week after the next.

    Hope that this is not a deal breaker for you.

    Sorry once again.

    Sincerely

    ok, thanks. I’ll see what I can do without doing a lot of footnote work next week to avoid having to do any fixing later once the plugin is fixed/corrected here. Working on pages that don’t have footnotes etc. Thanks.

    Hey Jamie,
    I found few other issues related, and all these must be fixed now, but i wonder how to give you the version so you can test it – so i ve created this for testing:

    Site name: Blue Eyed
    URL: https://blueeyedray.s3-tastewp.com
    Username: admin
    Password: JbPpjKZO3yU

    plugin is installed – you dont need to install anything from your side, as the problem is reproducible even with standard posts – just export and import your config and check the posts
    btw – this should also include the footnotes tags highlights
    Once confirmed – i will tell you what you need to do in order to make it work with already edited posts on your site and publish the new version.

    Hi Golemiq,

    Ok, so I have gone in, installed PODS and created a “Book” CPT. In the Footnotes “Styling” I added
    Footnotes/Endnotes plus then ——-.
    You can take a look as I’ll leave it there for you. But yes, now it seems to be keeping and holding the styling automatically based on the global styling. I tested this with numeric footnotes. And I also used a custom and it worked to hold the styling. So in my view, it seems to be good and functioning. Two notes for you which given this adjustment might be important:
    1. Should you include a section now in the metabox for the footnotes that allows someone to change that “global formatting” for a specific post? That might be of value.
    2. For the metabox that is found on the posts/cpt’s. I can suggest if there is a way, it might be good to work on the overall styling to better “compress” things. Not sure there needs to be so much spacing. As in the overall settings pages, the spacing is good. But on these Metaboxes, if one is using other plugins that use the Metaboxes, then it really makes it a huge scrolling to get to the right place.

    Thanks, and appreciate your work you are putting into this plugin.

    Hey Jamie,

    Glad to hear that. Space is reduced a bit, the “global formatting” is an interesting feature to be added, but not in this version I am afraid.

    So – back to the bug problem – once the new version is in place (4.0), use DB plugin or client of your choice, go to {PREFIX}_postmeta table and search for “_awef_post_settings” – if neither of your posts is using custom formatting – delete all of the records, is some of them does – keep them and edit the posts in editor and save them manually. I am afraid that there is no other way around this – sorry for that.

    I just saw this :
    Version 4.0.0 will be released to sites in about 24 hours. WordPress.org currently delays plugin updates by 24 hours so moderators and security scanners can review changes before they reach users. If this update fixes a security issue that needs to ship sooner, contact plugins@wordpress.org.

    Have no idea what does that mean, but the version is released and you can download it from the plugin page as it seems.
