Footnotes Made Easy is a fork of WP Footnotes, a plugin by Simon Elvery.

시작하기
Creating a footnote is simple; wrap your footnote text in double parentheses:
This is a sentence ((and this is your footnote)).
The footnote will appear at the bottom of your post or page, automatically numbered and linked.
Important: Include a space before your opening double parentheses or the footnote will not work.
Settings
The settings page is organised into four tabs:
- Display — Control footnote identifier style, back-link format, header and footer text, and tooltip behaviour.
- Behaviour — Configure combining identical footnotes, back-link position, and processing priority.
- Suppress — Choose which page types (home, archives, search, feeds, previews) should not display footnotes. Also suppress by post type and exclude footnotes from specific URLs or post categories
- Advanced — Change the opening and closing delimiters.
쪽번호가 있는 글
By default, each page of a paginated post restarts footnote numbering from 1. To maintain a continuous sequence, add a start number tag between each <!--nextpage--> marker:
<!--startnum=5-->
Replace 5 with the number you want the first footnote on that page to start at.
참조
To reference a previous footnote a second time, you can either repeat the exact same text (recommended — works with the Combine Identical Footnotes option) or use the number reference syntax:
((ref:1))
Note: number referencing does not work across pages in a paginated post, and risks pointing to the wrong footnote if new footnotes are inserted before it. The exact-text method is more robust.
Multisite Support
On WordPress multisite networks, the plugin can be configured from the network admin in two modes:
- Network managed — all settings controlled centrally; the Footnotes menu is hidden from subsite admins
- Subsite override — each subsite admin can manage their own footnote settings independently
