Bring footnotes into margins

Posted in: Newspaper

So I use Civil Footnotes on this post (and others):

Any ideas as to how I can get the footnotes to fall within the margins of the rest of the content? Or even adjust the settings on the plugin itself?

Being able to move text is one of the things I love about this theme, but this is a little messy.

Well, it’s below the content, it’s just that the zemanta plugin puts itself “first” before the other “under article” content. If you turned that off, or moved/changed its priority to run LAST in the footer, you’d be fine (see zemanta support for how to change that in their plugin).

Then all you’d need to do is apply some CSS to the footnotes, such as matching the width, and smaller size.

Or, you’d need to manually insert the shortcode for plugin at bottom of the single post template(s) you’re using …. which might even be the simplest thing. So, I would try that first.

Hi,

Please try Christopher suggestions and let me know how it goes. I will try to help you with some css code if adding the shortcode in the template doesn’t solve your issue(if you want to do that). Here are post templates files: http://screencast.com/t/rwjpy6TMdf
Let me know!

Thanks!

Couple things:

That post is a poor example re: Zemanta – I used to use it, but have since deleted it, but the remnants are the same.

That being said, I’m not terribly bright on where I’d put the shortcode, or how to find the shortcode, any of that.

If I use the post templates as they are in the theme? No problem. See here as an example:

It only gets jacked up if I use the post formats to move text in, like I did in the other post above. So it works fine until I go with that “no sidebar, indent text” look.

Make sense?

Hi,

Please try this css code for footnotes in Theme Panel > Custom Css: http://screencast.com/t/1anNf5K6

.footnotes {
margin-left: 1.5em !important;
}

Hope this helps!
