# Multiple reference containers in single post

 * Hello,
 * Is it possible to create different footnote containers in one single post/page(
   listing different footnotes)?
 * I need to combine two different texts, both of them using different references,
   in one blog post and publish them. I tried to manually place the references containers
   via the shortcode [references](https://codex.wordpress.org/references) at the
   end of the first text, but the references to the [fn] tags below also show up.
   Is there a way to split footnotes on a site in multiple references containers?
 * Thank you.

 * Thanks for reaching out. Currently that is only possible when each section is
   in a content widget. Then the `widget_text` hook can be enabled under Scope and
   priority dashboard tab to get a reference container under each content widget
   of the website.
 * A shortcode based solution would be handy but is not implemented yet. I take 
   note for further development. If it’s feasible I’ll try to do it and let you 
   know, but right now we’re having two bugs reported just before you posted and
   need to fix them ASAP even if no hurry is requested, because of the consequences
   on managing the codebase.
 * Best regards.

 * Thank you! The feature is now implemented and works, the way that you put a shortcode`[‌[/
   footnotesection]‌]`, and all footnotes above (and below the preceding shortcode)
   will be in a reference container at this position. Those notes below the last
   shortcode will be in a last container at post end. If no such shortcode is present,
   everything works as usual.
 * The shortcode shall be configurable, too; the setting is not yet added though.
 * This feature has been fast-tracked at my end. I hope you will soon be able to
   use it!

 * Just released v2.7.0 with the feature.
 * Thank you for helping improve the plugin!
 * I’ll mark this as resolved but be sure to keep in touch whenever anything is 
   still missing or you see other issue.
