Open an article containing references in the editor.
Click the "Convert to Post" button.
Preview the created post.
Expected results:
References section intact
Footnote links (to actual reference in list) work.
Actual results:
Entire references section including Footnote anchors missing from converted post.
Workaround:
Before converting an article to a post, follow these steps to retain the References Section:
Clone the article to a new article by opening the article in the article editor, then clicking "clone". This will create a copy of the article and open it in the editor.
With the cloned article open in the editor, click "preview" to view the cloned article in your browser (not edit view - front-end website view).
Using your browser's "view source" function, locate the <div> containing the references:
<div id="references" class="references">
Copy the entire <div>, which will look something like the selection below:
Note: you may wish to paste the copied text into a text editor or other application as a temporary holding place, if you can't perform the next step immediately. Once you click "convert to post" the references will be gone.
<div id="references" class="references">
<section class="sec">
<h1><span>References</span></h1>

</section>
</div>
Now, go back to the cloned article in the editor, and click the "convert to post" button. The post will open in the normal (non-article) post editor.
Switch the editor to "text" rather than "visual" view, and paste the entire References <div> html at the bottom of the article.
Save and preview. The references should appear at the bottom, and footnote links should function as expected.
