    Since the two last updates, the footnotes doesn’t show up anymore under the post.

    Theme: Chaplin
    Wordpress: 5.5.3

    I have made no changes at the dashboard, so I guess it’s een update-problem?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Thank you very much for your feedback about Footnotes v2.1.0 and current v2.1.1.

    Trying to reproduce your issue, I’ve installed Chaplin, to be sure because some issues (like how well footnotes are supported in excerpts) are theme-dependent.

    The best guess is that your issue is related to the templates, because you are maintaining the 2.0.0–2.0.5 tooltip.html as featuring your preferred tooltip behavior with the long fade-out. I too like the 2-seconds long fade-out and thought others could feel the same, as it happens. It does not fit all websites, but a strong preference for a low fade-out speed broke through and made its way, contributing to prompt an up-coming general settings overhaul including many more parameters: fade-in, predelay, post-delay, scroll speed and scroll offset, among others. The main improvement will be that additionally to the ability to elongate fade-out, the predelay will not be a hard-coded 800 milliseconds any more (I doubled it for 2.0.0 but zeroed it for 2.0.6).

    So when accessing the wp-content/plugins/footnotes/templates/public folder, where the number of templates has doubled to 8 for 2.1.1, renaming or deleting reference-container.html will cause the footnotes list to simply disappear.

    Another cause for the reference container to vanish may occur if its position was set to the widget area, and its widget or the container where it was added to undergo a mishap. But per your description it was positioned beneath the article rather than in a widget zone, e.g. in a column or at the bottom of the page.

    If, based on these suggestions, the footnotes list is back again, its relative position with respect to social buttons and auto-generated related post suggestions depends on the priority level now accessible as a setting under the Expert mode tab but not yet explained there.

    The 2.1.1 bugfix is direly needed because it fixes the dead links in combined footnotes. Hopefully the up-coming added settings will enable seamless updates down the road.

    Please let us know about the outcome.

    Best regards.

    I don’t understand. I’m sorry about posting the above based on the source code of your linked page, where you have how the tooltips are behaving:

    
predelay: 800, 
fadeInSpeed: 200, 
fadeOutSpeed: 2000,

    But the linked style sheet https://hijis.nl/wp-content/plugins/footnotes/css/public.css?ver=2.1.1 is from a standard installation, where the tooltip script template https://hijis.nl/wp-content/plugins/footnotes/templates/public/tooltip.html has the current values:

    
predelay: 0,
fadeInSpeed: 200,
delay: 400,
fadeOutSpeed: 200,

    And the reference container template is in its place, and so are all table-row templates.

    I’m at my wit’s end.

    Would you like to share how you are doing?

    Your issue is now solved. I apologize for not seeing it immediately. It was due to the defective version 2.0.5 of Footnotes, that I mistakenly released on 2020-11-02 20:10:18 +0000 (Mon, 02 Nov 2020).

    When a post was saved with that version or 2.0.6 from 2020-11-05 18:05:49 +0000 (Thu, 05 Nov 2020), the footnotes short codes were processed in the editor, and the HTML markup and appended jQuery script were saved as part of the post. When such a page is served, the Footnotes plugin cannot display the reference container, because there are no footnotes short codes any more. The referrers and tooltips keep showing up, because they’re already there.

    That’s why the tooltip timing didn’t match the current template when you reported the issue. On November 18, 2020 at 15:43 UTC—your initial post’s date stamp—the current Footnotes version was 2.1.1 from 2020-11-18 00:47:53 +0000 (Wed, 18 Nov 2020). That version and all other versions starting with 2.0.6 have a 200ms fade duration both ways. The 2000ms fade-out duration found in your page was shipped with Footnotes versions 2.0.0 through 2.0.5.

    Please excuse me for the bug and for the hassle of redacting the wrongly embedded code in this and possibly other posts of yours!

    My apologies for causing that bug are posted in https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/change-the-position-5/page/2/#post-13630114 and https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/footnotes-appearing-in-header/#post-13630303 and https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/footnotes-appearing-in-header/page/2/#post-13630799

    Sorry please!

    Best regards,
