Pick up FD Footnote tags?

Hi, thanks for taking a look at easy footnotes. I don’t have anything built in to convert, but it is something you could do using regular expressions.

This code would find all shortcodes that start with a number followed by a . and space. \[[0-9][.]\s([^\]]*)\]

Then you would be able to replace that with [note]$1[/note] to output the data in the shortcode.

If you’re not running a find and replace on your database you could create a filter on the_content to replace the strings. That would look something like this:

function ef_convert_fd_notes($content) {
    $pattern = "/\[[0-9][.]\s([^\]]*)\]/";
    $replace = "[note]$1[/note]";
    $content = preg_replace( $pattern, $replace, $content );

    return $content;
}

add_filter( 'the_content', 'ef_convert_fd_notes', 0);

That should convert the FD footnotes shortcode to Easy Footnotes before they’re output.

I haven’t had a chance to do a thorough debugging of that code. Setting the priority to 0 seems to work with both plugins active, but I’d suggest you deactivate FD Footnotes and set the priority to 10 in the add_filter function.
