 * Hi,
 * we are really sorry for the delay.
 * Currently there is no setting to disable the mouse-over box, but we will add 
   the setting in one of the next release versions.
 * You have to change one of the Plugins source files.
    Open the following file 
   in the Plugins directory:
 * /wp-content/plugins/footnotes/templates/public/footnote.html
    Remove the javascript
   part of the file and save it. The file should look like this:
 *     ```
       <a href="#footnote_plugin_reference_index" name="footnote_plugin_tooltip_index" id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_index" class="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text" onclick="footnote_expand_reference_container();"><sup>beforeindexafter</sup></a>
       <span class="footnote_tooltip" id="footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_index">text</span>
       ```
   
 * after removing the javascript part.
 * Hope that helps.

 * Hi Christoph,
 * thanks for using our Plugin and thanks for bringing a nice feature request to
   our attention!
 * It can take a few weeks, before this feature finds its way into a release version,
   since some bugs need fixing first.
 * Stay tuned.

 * Hi Mark, hi Stefan,
 * for the moment i use this path:
 * > You can easily disable the mouse-over box by removing the following tag in “
   > wp-content\plugins\footnotes\templates\footnote.html”:
   > [ [ FOOTNOTE TEXT ] ]
 * It works fine.
 * Thanks for your plugin and your work
 * Christoph

 * Hi,
 * we have published a new version (1.5.2) right now. A setting has been implemented
   to enable/disable the mouse-over box.
 * No need to change the Plugins source code anymore 🙂
 * I will mark this topic as resolved.
