    Hi dbsmith000,

    Copying and pasting content from Google Docs to a post or page won’t preserve all the formatting but it may be possible to keep the footnotes by embedding the document:

    Embed From Google Docs

    I noticed dbsmith000.wordpress.com hasn’t been updated in some time, which suggests you are working on another site. Can you send a link to the one you are working on?

    Thanks!

    Hi, gemmacevans,

    Thanks for the reply. I will see what embedding looks like.

    My website is https://www.scienceabbey.com/

    I realize now this forum is for the blogs, so not the right forum to ask about the website.

    There are apps that merge Google Docs with a WordPress blog, but none seem to work with a WordPress.org website. I may in the future just write from my WordPress site.

    BTW I never typed “The blog I need help with is dbsmith000.wordpress.com.” That was automatically generated without my consent and I was surprised to see it appear after I had posted!

    Thanks, again.

    Hi –

    That’s correct. This forum is for WordPress.com sites – as you know, these are different from sites that use the WordPress installation.

    You’ll want to visit https://wordpress.org/support/ to check in with our community volunteers about this inquiry. Best wishes :)
