 * If you put a link in the footnote the tooltip disappears before the user has 
   the chance to click on it (because they’ve moved their mouse away from the number
   and towards the link in the tooltip hover). I see on the qtip2 demo site that
   it is possible to have the tooltip remain open while the mouse is hovering over
   it: [http://qtip2.com/demos](http://qtip2.com/demos). Is this possible with this
   plugin?

 * Hi there, I actually added in the functionality for footnotes to stay open on
   hover in version 1.0.2. If you check out the 3rd footnote in [this post on my site](http://jasonyingling.me/tools-techniques-increasing-productivity/)
   you should be able to hover over the footnote and click the links within it.
 * So first make sure you’re running version 1.0.2 in your plugin directory. If 
   you are on 1.0.2 and you’re still experiencing the issue, can you supply me with
   a link to a page where you’re having the issue?
 * I have noticed you need to go pretty much straight down to the footnote for qTip
   to keep it open. I’m looking into getting qTip to stay open if you move to the
   footnote more diagonally.

 * Ok, I was able to make it work better by including the delay parameter in the
   qTip jQuery call. I set the delay to 400ms so the tooltip stays open slightly
   longer, which allows more time for the user to hover directly over the tooltip
   at which point it will stay open until their cursor leaves the tooltip, or they
   click your link.
 * I just pushed this update in version 1.0.3. So if you update you should be good
   to go. You’ll notice if you go to the same link to my site above, I’ve got the
   updated plugin in there and it will stay open longer.
 * You can edit the qTip parameters yourself in the directoty plugins/easy-footnotes/
   assets/qtip/jquery.qtipcall.js. However, I would not recommend this as anytime
   you update the plugin you will have to reenter your changes. I am working on 
   building the qTip parameters into the plugin so they can be set from the WP backend,
   but that’s going to take a lot of testing the different combinations to make 
   sure something doesn’t break.
 * Let me know if you’ve got any other questions, and if you’re liking the plugin
   please rate it!

 * Hope everything is working for you now. I’m going to mark this topic as resolved.
   Let me know if you have any more questions.
