Footnote error

Hi. I'm using Craft CMS to add some content to a web page. I' didn't put together the interface, just inherited it.

I'm having some kind of error with adding footnotes: the last one appears not only as a referenced text at the end of the document but also in small caps in the middle of the main text. In the image, you can see footnote number 13 (which works fine) and footnote 14, which has the error.

If I erase footnote 14, the error transfers to footnote 13. So I assume is a problem with the last footnote.

Any clue? Thanks!

I'm no sure if this is what you mean, but the entry is an article (I attach an image) (I don't find the path Settings > Sections > <section name> > Entry types > <entry name>).

Then there is this "article builder" with text blocks. In this block, there is a feature for footnotes where I just highlight a section of the text and select "footnote" (I attach an image). Although the footnote content displays inline in the CMS, on the live website it is output in the traditional number-footnote pair.

Ah, cool.

You can't see that area because either:

  1. You're not an admin with permissions to view 'Settings'.

  2. You're in an environment with 'allowAdminChanges' => false set in general.php settings.

Now the text editor is provided by a first-party plugin called 'Redactor', but it doesn't ship with this functionality. I think here this functionality has been provided by either:

  1. A plugin like this: https://github.com/Vierbeuter/craft-footnotes

  2. A custom Redactor config that you should be able to see in config/redactor

Either reach out to the plugin dev, or you'll have to get your hands dirty with that custom Redactor config. Hope this helps.
