 * I’m just learning php and can see the awesome power off hooks. I’ve checked the
   plugin file and I don’t see that the footnotes are added to the page using a 
   hook, but are just appended to the page content.
 * I’m making a page template and it would be awesome if I could determine exactly
   where I want the footnotes to be placed. At the moment I have some stuff that
   needs to appear on many pages **after** the page content but **before** the footnotes,
   and I can’t see any way to do that (except by adding it to each page manually,
   which I’m not going to do).
 * I want to load the footnotes onto the genesis_after_post_content hook and set
   its priority, but I can’t currently see any way to do that.

 * Hi oldmankit,
 * I just stumbled upon your request here.
    We’re currently in heavy development
   of our own footnotes plugin, as a lot of footnotes plugins don’t receive updates
   or community attention..
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/footnotes/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/footnotes/)
   
   Our Plugin works with hooks and you can already customize, if the references 
   should appear at the end of your post, before the footer of your wordpress site
   or inside a widget. A shortcode for placing the references list anywhere is planned.
 * Our plugin is compatible with this plugin, as you can set the [ref] shortcode
   to be used. So you wouldn’t loose all your precious footnotes if you consider
   switching.

 * Hi there Mark,
 * Thanks very much for mentioning that. I had a try of your plugin and it’s looking
   very nice. I’m going to stick with simple footnotes since I’ve managed to get
   it to behave as I want, and have spent some time styling the appearance of it.
 * One of my bug-bears with simple footnotes was that it inserted a space before
   the number of the footnote (I’m talking about the link in the text which will
   send you to the bottom of the page). I had to go into theme files itself to remove
   this space. I and some other users thought it should be built-in as an option:‘
   insert space before numbered link’.
 * I’m mentioning this because I can see that in your plugin there is both a space
   before the number and a bracket after, and I couldn’t see any options to remove
   either!
 * Anyway, thanks again.
    Kit
