== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is your Plugin a copy of footnotes x? =

No, this Plugin has been written from scratch. Of course some inspirations on how to do or how to not do things were taken from other plugins.

= Your Plugin is awesome! How do I convert my footnotes if I used one of the other footnotes plugins out there? =

1. For anyone interested in converting from the FD Footnotes plugin:

2. From what we've researched, all other footnotes Plugins use open and close shortcodes, which can be left as is. In the **footnotes** settings menu, you can setup **footnotes** to use the existing (=previously used) shortcodes. Too easy? Yippy Ki-Yey!
