# Plugin causing display problems in pages and posts

 * I’ve had FD Footnotes installed on [my site](http://www.oncewasacreek.org/) for
   over a year now and it has been working mostly OK. I say ‘mostly’ because it 
   has worked fine on separate pages in my site, but sometimes causes font formatting
   to go awry on posts when they are viewed as part of the feed on the traditional
   [blog section](http://www.oncewasacreek.org/newsroom/) of my site.
 * This was an annoyance I could live with, as the ‘Newsroom’ is not where pages
   on my site are predominantly viewed. But now the plugin is causing serious formatting
   problems on other pages on my site. As well as causing the text after some footnotes
   to shrink (like what happens on my blog feed page), it has removed the background
   colour of the central portion of the page, where the text appears.
 * An example of a page where the background is correct (no footnotes) is [this one](http://www.oncewasacreek.org/the-creek/transformation/floods/).
   An example of a longer page with footnotes where the formatting has been corrupted
   is [this one](http://www.oncewasacreek.org/the-creek/transformation/milton-drain/milton-brisbanes-western-frontier/).
 * If I disable the plugin, the formatting appears correctly, but of course I end
   up with bracketed text all throughout my pages. This is a serious problem, and
   if I can’t solve it quickly I will have to use another method to generate my 
   footnotes, and this will take me a LONG time given the number of pages and footnotes
   that I have on my site.
 * I do have several other plugins enabled (but not EasyTube or WP-Ratings, the 
   ones mentioned [here](http://flagrantdisregard.com/footnotes-plugin/)), and I
   haven’t gone through and turned them off to detect conflicts. Frankly, I’m hoping
   that I don’t have to.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * FYI I have found another footnote plugin (‘Simple Footonotes’) that seems to 
   do the job. I have trialled it on the page that I linked in the previous post,
   so that link is sort of redundant now.
 * I will still be interested to know if the issue is resolved in FD Footnotes, 
   as I like to have multiple options available.
 * Thanks.
