Footnote

[patrickmoan]

Hello WordPress.org-

When a footnote is added, the number is not displaye as a superscript. It appears to the as a number.

I have provided an attached file showing a screenshot. (I was unclear on how to use the image feature of this edior I'm using.)

Hi and welcome to WordPress Core Trac!

I think this issue is because the ​Divi Extra theme resets sup element styles without creating its own styles. To confirm that (and/or to fix), could you go to Appearance > Customize and paste the following code in the Additional CSS? After clicking Publish, view a page with footnotes.

sub,
sup {
	font-size: 75%;
	line-height: 0;
	position: relative;
	vertical-align: baseline;
}
sup {
	top: -0.5em;
}
sub {
	bottom: -0.25em;
}

Thanks much sabernhardt! You were correct in that the DIVI theme reset sup element styles without creating new styles. When I added CSS you provided, footnotes I add are displayed correctly.

Thank so much!
