Only one user able to create footnotes #50

I'm running into a strange situation where I'm the only user able to create any footnotes.

PHP Version: 8.0.28 WordPress Version: 6.2

It's a multisite install and the plugin is activate on one site currently. I'm a super admin in the network and this site has about a dozen Editors plus one additional admin to myself. No other user has been able to turn text into a footnote even after following the same steps as I have.

I've used a User Switching plugin to change to one of those users and encounter the same issue: when I take over their user, I'm still unable to generate a footnote. I have to be acting as my own personal user in order to make the footnotes work.

For example:

  1. One of these users will highlight a section of text and select the "Add a footnote" option from the toolbar.
  2. The editor displays the correct footnote indications.
  3. When previewing the post, the footnote is not generated. Instead, the text that was highlighted and turned into a footnote in the editor shows up as belonging to the paragraph block it was contained in.
  4. None of the custom HTML tags from the plugin appear either.

I thought it might be a permissions thing, but even after converting users to admins they had the same experience.

Not sure what to make of this?
