It is for footnotes only. No other markdown tag is taken into account Ejemplo: ``` I have more [^1] to say up here. [^1]: To say down here. ``` If used with jetpack and enabled markdown, it only shows the buttons without modifying the text content. Unlike jetpack-markdown, footnotes will appear in the exact point where they have been inserted. To go back to text mode click on the footnote number. N.B This plugin also works with Gutenberg. But the button only appears in the Classic Editor. For now with Gutenberg enter the codes directly. ### Configuration No configuration is necessary. Considering that this plugin, like others working with “markdown”, parsing the page every time I load it, I highly recommend using a caching plugin. Customizing Footnote Layout If you want the footnote number to be logically separated from the note (for CSS targeting) but want to prevent unwanted line breaks or extra spacing caused by WordPress’s automatic paragraphs, you can add the following CSS to your theme: ``` /* Ensure the footnote stays inline or as a specific block */ p > span.footnote { display: inline-block; } /* Remove extra spacing from the paragraph containing the footnote */ p:has(> span.footnote) { margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding: 0; } ``` ## Capturas de pantalla * [[ * Visual Editor TinyMCE with plugin actived * [[ * Popup where you can enter note number * [[ * Example with the footnotes display ## Instalación This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. 1. Upload the plugin files to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/blank-footnotes’ directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress ## FAQ ### Does this plugin work with any theme? Yes, it is designed to work with all standard WordPress themes. ### Does it work with Gutenberg? Yes, this plugin works with the Gutenberg editor. However, the dedicated button only appears in the Classic Editor. For now, when using Gutenberg, you can enter the shortcodes directly into the blocks. ### How do I install it? Please refer to the “Installation” tab for step-by-step instructions. ### How can I customize it? You can use CSS to style the `.footnote` class. Use `span.footnote` for the notes themselves and `sup.footnote` for the reference numbers. ## Reseñas ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8ca71c78d6c14b1dc3e39225e0e4ad69f2ab242566d46446e3962e393caedf85? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Absolutely fab!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-fab-2/)󠁿 [Matta Cib](https://profiles.wordpress.org/matta-cib/) 24 de Abril de 2026 Blank Footnotes is a brilliant footnote plugin! Admittedly, it doesn’t have a hover( on-mouse-over) function – neither browser-based nor plugin-based – nor does it offer automatic numbering.BUT: Doing without such features is rewarded with a plugin that is straightforward, lightweight, offers little scope for attack and therefore does not need to be constantly updated, meaning it is likely to remain usable in the long term. It is uncomplicated to use and can be easily adapted to your own design preferences using CSS. It has the advantage that footnotes do not need to be integrated into the text, but are entered at the end of the text, where they are ultimately meant to be, which I find much clearer. And (probably most importantly) it has a plugin developer who, should any issues arise, provides friendly, quick and highly competent support. I recently had to update 1641 footnotes when switching from my old footnote plugin to Blank Footnotes, and it worked brilliantly – highly recommended! Blank Footnotes deserves every success. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/353fb709187a031086449be71d2ad13045b66654166aeb81616c4a0698aebcb6? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[It does exactly what I need it to do with minimal fuss.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-exactly-what-i-need-it-to-do-with-minimal-fuss-6/)󠁿 [Elizabeth Beeton](https://profiles.wordpress.org/esb10/) 29 de Agosto de 2025 2 respuestas This is the highest compliment I can give anything I use. This is much better than the footnote plugin I was using. VERY pleased. I noticed this plugin doesn’t have many reviews, so I logged in to give it one. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5ce836b2fbab781062b74f7d94c726887b63700985c6406b8c4748f4aa363470? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Tolles Plugin, einfach gut](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tolles-plugin-einfach-gut/)󠁿 [arbeitscodex.com](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arbeitscodex/) 5 de Marzo de 2023 Ich verwende „Blank Footnotes“ in meinen Beiträgen. Mit dem Plugin ist es sehr einfach Quellen bzw. Literaturverzeichnis zu erstellen. ich hoffe Corrado Franco entwickelt es weiter und in Gutenberg-Editor wird einfache Funktion ergänzt für die automatische Erzeugung von Verzeichnis. Auch Anpassung von Einstellungen werde ich sehr begrüßen. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1e3fec1e03f760b99a08feef0ec7d55211ce89e8ecd53e4e09d9403925575c1a? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does what it says on the tin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-what-it-says-on-the-tin-369/)󠁿 [ThemeBro](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themebro/) 31 de Julio de 2019 I was looking for a simple solution that doesn’t add extra scripts to my site. This is it. Auto-numbering would be a good improvement. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6ba271e8b62d897ac9a978c4102d0a938aabb488bc35afaeee0e3aab8993fbc3? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Very good!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-1578/)󠁿 [Elisa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/elisa-demonki/) 3 de Septiembre de 2016 1 respuesta Perfect for a minimal footnote option, which has a custom place.
