 * How can I bring the footnote down and to the left. It’s much too high nearly 
   in the sentence above it on mobile devices. How can I bring it closer to the 
   above just right of the last letter of the sentence it follows?

 * Hi! I was cruising the threads for an answer to the same question you have. Maybe
   you already came across it… if not, here it is: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-too-high/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/text-too-high/)
 * At the end of the entry, JulianneSMoore posted a bit of code:
    .entry table {
   border: 0 !important;} .footnote_plugin_index {padding: 0px 0px; border: none!
   important;} .footnote_plugin_link {padding: 0px 0px; border: none !important;}.
   footnote_plugin_text {padding: 0px 0px;border: none !important;} .entry tr td{
   padding: 6px 6px;} .footnote_plugin_tooltip_text { vertical-align: super !important;
   font-size: 80% }
 * I cut and pasted it into the “Add Custom CSS to the public page”, which you can
   get to via the “Customize” tab for the plug-in, and footnote text isn’t as high.
   If you need yours even closer, try modifying the size for the padding in “.entry
   tr td {padding: 6px 6px;}” to get the numbers even closer to the text. Good luck!

 * Fairly easy.
    From WP go to plugins/editor, choose footnotes (top right) and 
   navigate to footnotes/css/public.css
 * Find the block that looks like this
 *     ```
       /* superscript */
       .footnote_plugin_tooltip_text {
       	vertical-align: top !important;
       	position: relative !important;
       	top: 0.4em !important; /* geändert von micha - weniger hochgestellt */
           cursor: pointer;
       }
       ```
   
 * Change the value like I did (see the comment line) or to your liking, save the
   file and reload the page/post to control the output. Do not forget to clear the
   cache before if you use a plugin for that. Otherwise you will not notice any 
   change immediately.
 * Have fun!
 * Michael
