* I’m testing this plugin, and so far I really like it — it’s named appropriately.
* I have a suggestions and a question.
1. Suggestion: Would you consider adding
an
to the front of the footnotes on the page? As far as I can tell, that
is pretty standard on any page with footnotes. If you don’t want to do so unconditionally,
perhaps a new option to allow it? (It occurs to me as I’m typing that using <
hr> as the footnote label might work. I’ll go test that.) 2. Question: I assume
it’s the qtip code that is controlling the font and box size of the text displayed
when hovering? (I didn’t find any reference to font in the .php files.) Could
you give a pointer to where the font size is? I see several references in the
jquery.qtip.css file, but they’re in several styles (default, red, dark, etc.),
and I haven’t been able to figure out which style is used and how the style is
chosen (or defaulted).
* Thank you!

* For others reading this: using
as the label didn’t work. I didn’t really
expect it to, but thought I’d check.

* Sorry, I forgot another suggestion. Would you consider making the symbol used
as the “return to post” icon configurable as well? I prefer the rounded ↩ rather
than squared-off version EF is using. (I’ve actually never seen that one before.)
This could be done with an option and putting it directly in the footnoteCopy
in easy_footnote_after_content instead of having it in the easynote CSS.
* Thanks again!

* Hi,
* Thanks for using the plugin. I try to keep the options to a minimum in the plugin
sticking to the WordPress philosophy of “Every time you give a user an option,
you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand
the option this ultimately leads to frustration.”
* That being said all of the items you requested can be accomplished with CSS to
a degree.
* ```
.easy-footnotes-wrapper {
border-top: 1px solid #333;
}
```
* Will let you add a top border to the footnote wrapper which you could style to
match an `
` element.
* ```
.easy-footnotes-wrapper .easy-footnote-to-top:after {
content: '\f171';
}
```
* Will let you change the content of the back to top button to anything you like
as long as your site has the proper font. For example, EFN makes use of WordPress’s
built in Dashicons font. [https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/](https://developer.wordpress.org/resource/dashicons/)
* ```
body .qtip {
max-width: 500px;
}
body .qtip-content {
font-size: 2em;
width: 500px;
}
```
* Will let you overwrite the qtipdefaults for font-size and box width. Although
if you’re going to change the box width up too much you may want to review the
qtip documentation to make sure it will handle the calculation properly so your
tip doesn’t go off the page. [http://qtip2.com/options#style](http://qtip2.com/options#style)
* Let me know if you have any other questions.

* Thanks for the quick reply!
* Too many unnecessary options = not good. Agreed.
However, with sane defaults,
the user *doesn’t* have to make a choice. It just works the way they want. But
giving an option empowers other users who don’t want that default. This is especially
true when the default behavior is out of the mainstream. (Having an
in front
of footnotes is a de facto standard in my web viewing, as is the #8617 for the
return symbol.)
* But, if you don’t want to do that, it’s your plugin. 🙂
* It *might* be possible for me to format the border top as an hr, or get a font
character that resembles (or is) #8617, but that’s a lot of work (for me; I’m
not a CSS guru), and I’m still modifying one of the plugin files that has to
be maintained after an update, just the CSS instead of the PHP. Since it’s far
easier (for me) to add an
and the right character to the PHP, then I’ll
just do that.
* Thanks very much for the tip on the qtip font stuff and especially the link.
Those were the parts I hadn’t been able to figure out.
