    @gova,

    Thanks for reaching out and reporting this bug unseen since the numbering disorder occurring under certain circumstances has been fixed in v2.5.5 one month ago. That was of a different sort.

    Under which circumstances are you encountering this bug? Please help us look into it by either providing steps to reproduce it, or the URL of a page where it is happening. Because your profile does not link to your website, we’re unable to look out there.

    Thank you in advance for sharing additionally some of this information and we’ll be happy to assist.

    Best regards.

    @gova,

    Apologies for the late fix, please. This bug is now fixed in v2.5.14 available for individual download at https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/footnotes.2.5.14.zip

    As that is the fourth urgent bugfix version over the last five days, none of these has been released, out of an abundancy of caution and release frequency mitigation.

    This bug happened with pointy brackets in footnote delimiter shortcodes, for example when footnotes were added in the Block Editor code editor, where they are not escaped but are fully functional, after the other footnotes were added in visual mode. The shortcodes were then processed sequentially by escapement schemas first, so the plugin first processed all escaped shortcodes, and only then all unescaped shortcodes. That way you could have 7 and 8 and then 23 and 24 because these have unescaped shortcodes, were first ignored, and lastly processed when the index was already at 23.

    Thank you very much for reporting this bug. Apologies again.

    You are credited in the changelog (and the source code) where reporters are enumerated chronologically:

    = 2.5.14 =

    • Bugfix: Footnote delimiter short codes: fix numbering bug by cross-editor HTML escapement schema harmonization, thanks to @patrick_here @alifarahani8000 @gova bug reports.
    • Update: Dashboard: General settings: Footnote start and end short codes: delete comment on pointy brackets.

    The cross-editor bit is about the Block Editor applying another escapement schema than the Classic Editor. While the Classic Editor (visual mode) escapes both pointy brackets, the Block Editor enforces balanced escapement only in code editor mode when the opening tag is already escaped. In visual mode, the Block Editor does not escape the greater-than sign.

    Hope that makes sense.

    When you’ve had a chance to download and install v2.5.14, please let us know how your website will be fixed and if numbering will actually be sequential from now on. So far it’s only been tested in my sandbox, where it works well and fixes the pointy brackets shortcode footnotes numbering disorder, as opposed to all preceding versions up to 2.5.13.

    Thank you!
