WordPress 6.3 introduces a new feature to insert and display footnotes. This option can be found on the toolbar of individual blocks under the Rich Editing<\/a> option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Overview<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding the Footnotes Block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Footnotes block will be added to your page or post as soon as you insert your first note using the Rich Text option. This new block works like other blocks and it can be moved around and removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 6.4, the Footnotes block can be removed, a provision has been made to make re-insertion easier. Additionally, the footnotes block is now displayed in the inserter for improved discoverability. It will show even if anchors are not yet inserted into the content. This modification str\u0435amlin\u0435s and improv\u0435s th\u0435 discov\u0435rability of th\u0435 Footnot\u0435s block, with th\u0435 wider goal of cr\u0435ating a mor\u0435 us\u0435r-fri\u0435ndly \u0435xp\u0435ri\u0435nc\u0435. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The text in the placeholder is a starting point, future refinements may include instructions on how to insert anchors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The user experience was enhanced in the most recent update by giving placeholder instructions for scenarios where the Footnotes block is not available for custom post types. This enhancement seeks to provide users with clearer guidance by providing instructions when the Footnotes block is missing in specified instances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Footnotes<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding Footnote blocks to templates is also not possible at the moment but it is being explored<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attempting to remove a Footnotes block triggers a warning regarding its removal and its impact. It advises that footnote references in the content area will continue to show if the block is removed. The user is required to confirm the deletion request before the block is deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adding individual notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To add new notes, highlight some text and open the “Rich Text” menu. Then select the “Footnotes” option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customize the Footnotes Block<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Footnotes block has been improved with more design flexibility in this release. The block now has settings for typography<\/a>, dimensions<\/a>, and border<\/a> control. Color<\/a> support has been adjusted, with link and text now being the default, rather than background and text. These modifications attempt to give users more flexibility when it comes to modifying the Footnotes block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
