# Duplicate Footnotes When Using Elementor

 * When using the plugin with the page builder Elementor, every footnote is duplicated.
   For example, on one page we have 40 footnotes and the plugin has created 80.
 * The number of the footnotes in the viewable text starts at 41. And the first 
   40 link back to a URL that doesn’t exist (e.g. [https://www.domain.com/#easy-footnote-1-1111](https://www.domain.com/#easy-footnote-1-1111)
   doesn’t actually exist but is a duplicate of [https://www.domain.com/#easy-footnote-41-1111](https://www.domain.com/#easy-footnote-41-1111)
   which is actually the first footnote in the text).
 * We took the same text and used the built-in editor (not page builder) and it 
   worked fine. So there’s definitely something going on with the plugin and elementor.

 * This typically happens when `the_content` is called multiple times on a page.
   Easy Footnotes works by hooking into the_content filter and reading all of the
   footnotes then adding them to the bottom of the post. Sounds like something is
   running the_content filter and causing the footnotes functionality to run doubling
   the count.
 * May be something that uses the `apply_filters('the_content', $content)` function
   in the theme or plugin causing it. Basically when the_content filter runs the
   easy footnotes functionality runs. And that filter can be run directly with `
   apply_filters('the_content', $content)` or with `the_content()`.
