Only links starting with http or https are included so ftp, mailto, etc will not be included in the list; although it would be pretty trival to edit the plugin to allow them to. Likewise any links that start with your blog URL are also excluded. For more information, you can visit [Nutt.net](http://www.nutt.net/tag/link-footnotes/) ## Installation 1. Upload the `link-footnotes` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. It’s on by default, so any posts and pages with external links will display footnotes once activated #### Options There are three options on the Settings -> Writing page. **Default On** Whether you want the footnotes to display by default or not. If cleared then the links will not be displayed even if there are external links. You can force the links to show even if it’s turned off using meta fields (see below) **Heading** Text that you want to display above the list. By default this is

Links

**Link Target** Anything in this field will be used as the target attribute in the links created for footnotes. For example, if you’d like to have all of the footnote links open in a new window you would enter _blank into the Link Target field. Only the footnote links are affected. The links in the post itself are not touched. #### Meta Fields You can override the Default On setting by including either `lf_on` or `lf_off` meta fields in your post or page. The value for either field doesn’t matter. As long as it’s not blank then the meta tag will work. Using `lf_on` will force the link list to show even if the default is not to show.` lf_off` will force the list not to show overriding the default. ## FAQ None yet ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Link Footnotes” is open source software.
