 * I just set up footnotes on a site I’m building.
 * If I put my footnote in the content field, it works fine.
 * In my meta fields created using ACF, it does nothing.
 * So, looks like the footnotes only work with content output via the_content. Is
   it possible to change that?

 * Thanks for reaching out, I understand that you wish to get footnotes processed
   in actions other than:
    - the_content
 *  - term_description
    - pum_popup_content
 *  - widget_text
    - the_excerpt
    - widget_title
    - the_title
 * The latter is not debugged because the title is used in multiple ways.
 * If we know the name of the action using the custom fields, I think adding support
   would only be a matter of adding a line of code and its docblock.
 * For an example, here is how Footnotes added support for category pages: [https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/footnotes/tags/2.7.3/class/task.php?rev=2521062#L448](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/footnotes/tags/2.7.3/class/task.php?rev=2521062#L448)
