All my footnotes were inserted inside double parentheses, like this: ((text for footnote)). The plugin “Footnotes made easy” identifies this and creates a footnote.
​
However, this plugin is now removed from store and won’t be updated anymore (word-fence plugin gives me an alert).
​
If I remove the “footnote made easy” plugin, what will happen to all the footnotes?
​
I’ve also noticed that recently WordPress block editor added an option to insert footnotes. Can I transform all the ((xxx)) footnotes somehow to a format that will be recognized by WordPress itself?
​
Thanks in advance

Have you googled for alternatives? I’d try that first before doing anything rash.
See if you can export the content from the plugin. I haven’t ever used this particular one.
[Read up on the Footnotes Bloc](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/footnotes-block/)k before making any decisions.
I would also recommend looking into why WP removed it from their directory. When was it last updated?
