Could you please provide more details on the mobile device that you are using? In particular, the operating system + version as well as any browser extensions you are using (if any). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Skip the Password Reset page of eMembership plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skip-the-password-reset-page-of-emembership-plugin/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skip-the-password-reset-page-of-emembership-plugin/#post-15072439) * Glad to hear that you’ve got it sorted [@morsagmon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morsagmon/); thanks for the fix [@pewgeuges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pewgeuges/)! * FYI the Plugin doesn’t currently have any options for per-page enabling/disabling( as you’ve seen), and a solution that involves editing the Plugin files directly will be overwritten the next time that the Plugin upgrades. You may find it safer to use another Plugin for disabling footnotes on a specific page; I can’t vouch for any personally, but [this article](https://kinsta.com/blog/disable-wordpress-plugins-loading/) provides some examples, and there is also [this one](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-plugin-manager/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘MCI_Footnotes_Layout_Engine’ not found](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-error-class-mci_footnotes_layout_engine-not-found/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-error-class-mci_footnotes_layout_engine-not-found/#post-14791784) * Correct, the footnotes refs will be untouched by the un- and re-installation of the Plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] `Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class ‘MCI_Footnotes_Layout_Engine’ not found](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-error-class-mci_footnotes_layout_engine-not-found/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/fatal-error-uncaught-error-class-mci_footnotes_layout_engine-not-found/#post-14790632) * Hi [@polaatx](https://wordpress.org/support/users/polaatx/), * Sorry to hear you are having issues with the Plugin. It looks like the Plugin may have upgraded incorrectly; please completely delete the `footnotes/` directory in `wp-content/plugins/` and re-install [a fresh copy](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/footnotes.2.7.3.zip) of the plugin. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] duplicate but same number](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-but-same-number/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-but-same-number/#post-14779585) * Hi [@drjkiel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjkiel/) * Sorry for being unclear, the link to the code was just to highlight the description text for the ‘Combine Identical Footnotes’ setting, which reads (emphasis mine): * > **Even when footnotes are combined, footnote numbers keep incrementing. This > avoids suboptimal referrer and backlink disambiguation using a secondary numbering > system.** The Ibid. notation and the op. cit. abbreviation followed by the > current page number avoid repeating the footnote content. For changing sources, > shortened citations may be used. Repeating full citations is also an opportunity > to add details. * So there is no solution available at the moment, but we are working on updating the footnote parsing functionality and will hopefully be able to offer properly- numbered combined footnotes once that is finished (and you can track progress on the [GitHub Issue](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/issues/202)). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] duplicate but same number](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-but-same-number/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/duplicate-but-same-number/#post-14775510) * Hi [@companydebt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/companydebt/) and [@drjkiel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drjkiel/), * Thanks for the support request, sorry for the delay in replying to you. * The continuation of footnote numbering even when combining identical footnotes is a workaround for the existing footnote parsing algorithm (as per the description on the Plugin settings page, see [https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/blob/main/src/class/dashboard/subpage-main.php#L498](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/blob/main/src/class/dashboard/subpage-main.php#L498)). Obviously this is not ideal. * However, we are currently in the midst of a [major revamp of the codebase](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/projects/4), which will include [re-doing the current the parsing algorithm](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/issues/121). I’ve [created an Issue](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/issues/202) to track this feature request, and we will try to include the option to properly combine identical footnotes in a future release. * Thank you for using footnotes! - This reply was modified 4 years, 9 months ago by [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Center Alignment Available?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/#post-14742453) * No problem, glad to hear you’ve got it sorted! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Center Alignment Available?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/#post-14738727) * The first rule is the default set of values, and the values will only be overwritten by those in the second rule (i.e., the one wrapped in the `@media` query) if the user’s display is wider than 768 pixels. * I’ve had a look at the coffee site you shared again, and it looks like both rules are being correctly applied — as I adjust the width of my display, I can see the second rule toggling on and off as expected. * What Web browser are you using to view the site? If you are using a particularly old version, it may not support CSS media queries (see version information [here](https://caniuse.com/css-mediaqueries)), in which case the second rule will be ignored. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Center Alignment Available?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/#post-14736748) * [@solu78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solu78/) as a potential alternative temporary solution, the following may also be helpful — it seems to work on the coffee page you shared earlier, which I assume is still using the non-alternative tooltips setting? * ``` .footnote_tooltip { width: 80%; left: 10% !important; } @media screen and (min-width: 768px) { .footnote_tooltip { width: 75%; left: 50% !important; } } ``` * This should ensure that the footnote tooltips a) do not get squished at the side of the page and b) are always visible, regardless of the display width. The first rule means that tooltips will take up 80% of the text width and display center- aligned on mobile devices, whilst the second rule means that on wider displays the footnotes will take up 75% of the text width and display right-aligned. You can change the `width` & `left` values to suit your preference. * > It looks like I might have to wait until the new update — or perhaps I can > hire a developer to custom-tweak this plugin? * footnotes is an all-volunteer project, but if you were interested in helping to fund development then we do have a donation link [here](https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=6Z6CZDW8PPBBJ). This would not guarantee feature request precedence, but it would enable us to focus more resources on getting the 3.0 update out the door asap! * Alternatively, if you wanted to fund a developer to specifically work on this feature, freelancer sites like [Upwork](https://www.upwork.com/) and [Fiverr](https://www.fiverr.com/) may be helpful. footnotes is licensed under the [GNU GPL 3.0](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/blob/main/LICENSE.md), so there would be no obligation to share any work done back with us, but we would certainly appreciate it if you did! 😉 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Center Alignment Available?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/center-alignment-available/#post-14731124) * Hi [@solu78](https://wordpress.org/support/users/solu78/), * FYI we are aware that the library we are using to render the tooltips (jQuery Tools) is very outdated, and we are working on replacing it in an upcoming major 3.0 update (you can see our discussion on this topic [here](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/issues/85)). * In the meantime, please let us know whether [@pewgeuges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pewgeuges/)’ s suggested style rules help to alleviate the issue—as you’ve identified, just copy-paste this into the ‘Custom CSS’ tab within the Plugin settings area: * ``` .footnote_referrer_base { position: static; } .footnote_tooltip { position: relative; right: auto; /* or 0? */ left: auto; top: auto; bottom: auto; width: fit-content; } ``` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] cron syntax error](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-syntax-error/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cron-syntax-error/#post-14579007) * Hi [@nootropixcom](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nootropixcom/), * As [@pewgeuges](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pewgeuges/) mentioned, the minimum supported version of PHP for this Plugin is 7.0 as of release 2.6.6. * In the next major release of the Plugin (3.0), we will be [raising this minimum to PHP 7.4](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/discussions/167)( in line with the [minimum requirements of WordPress itself](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)). We are exploring ways of automatically downgrading the Plugin source to support older PHP versions, but anything below the WordPress minimum will not be officially tested or supported by us. * PHP 5.6 has been EOL [since the end of 2018](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[footnotes] Last update broke my website](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/last-update-broke-my-website-5/) * Plugin Contributor [Rumperuu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rumperuu/) * (@rumperuu) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/last-update-broke-my-website-5/#post-14362028) * Hi [@msilvertant](https://wordpress.org/support/users/msilvertant/), * I have just pushed an urgent 2.7.3 release to the server that fixes this issue.
