 * Love the plugin! I have been having issues with my site, so I turned on debug
   mode, and on any page that uses this plugin’s shortcode I get the following notice:
 * Undefined variable: silent in [domain and directory] wp-content/plugins/footnotes-
   for-wordpress/wp-footnotes.php on line 156
 * The plugin seems to work just fine still, but I thought I would let you know,
   just in case this might cause a problem with your plugin in future updates.
