Print Footnotes at End of Page

    Are there easy ways to enable footnotes of Modern Footnotes to be printed at the end of a file (footer/end notes) rather than in-line? PDF print works well. Paper print, not so well.

    PrintFriendly plugin is used on the blog — but I’m asking more generally so that any user that wants to print to paper may have the footnotes printed at the end of the section/page (footnotes/endnotes).

    Printing footnotes inline is not fluid – and I don’t think URLs are included. It can be confusing to some readers, too.

    Regards,

    Hi @vitruvian1man! There is not a way to do that right now unfortunately, but I’ve got a task logged to support putting the footnotes at the end of an article at https://github.com/seankwilliams/modern-footnotes/issues/11. I added a note to that with a note about just putting the footnotes at the end with printing.

    In the meantime, would the best option for you be to hide footnotes when printing? I can help with some code that would do that if needed.

    Thank you for responding and logging the item as a task, @prismtechstudios .

    I could consider hiding the footnotes when printing. I searched a bit regarding how to do so — and a couple of articles stated adding CSS code. If you know of some helpful tips to get me started, then I’d appreciate that. I’m not a coder but am trying to learn the basics. No rush. Regards.

    @vitruvian1man To hide the footnotes when printing, enter this CSS in Settings > Modern Footnotes > Modern Footnotes Custom CSS:

    @media print { 
  .modern-footnotes-footnote { display: none; }
}

    Let me know if that works!

    Yes, your solution worked, (@prismtechstudios. 

    @media print { 
  .modern-footnotes-footnote { display: none; }
}

    Much obliged. My apologies for a delayed response — overlooked the notification regarding your response.
