### 󠀁[Best footnotes plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/best-footnotes-plugin-2/)󠁿

 [theccd](https://profiles.wordpress.org/theccd/) 6 сар 13, 2020

I’ve tried all of the footnotes plugins and this one works best, it’s simple yet
smart enough to overcome what other plugins can’t (like reordering the numbers of
the footnotes when changing text). The support was also really helpful and quick
to answer. Thank you
