[Tex/LaTex] \thanks won’t appear in IEEEtran

ieeetrantitles

I'm writing a article for a conference and using the IEEEtran class, this the first paper I'm doing with LaTeX but there's a problem I just can't solve I'm trying to write some acknowledgments but what I write in \thanks doesn't seem to appear.

From what I read on the note there doesn't seem to be a package I need to import and the auto completion recognizes \thanks but it won't show up in the pdf.

This is how I'm using it:

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage[bookmarks]{hyperref}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\title{My Title}
\author{M.E. Author\thanks{First thanks explaining were I work} C.O. Author\thanks{Second thanks}}

\begin{document}

\maketitle

I've checked the console outputs but I don't see any new warning or some such so if anybody has a idea what to do?

Best Answer

The class issues a message:

** WARNING: \thanks is locked out when in conference mode (line 12).

The documentation says, about conference mode,

The following commands are intentionally disabled: \thanks, \IEEEPARstart, \IEEEbiography, \IEEEbiographynophoto, \IEEEpubid, \IEEEpubidadjcol, \IEEEmembership, and \IEEEaftertitletext. If needed, they can be reenabled by issuing the command: \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts.

So issuing \IEEEoverridecommandlockouts before \begin{document} will make the acknowledgments appear.

I'd leave that to the conference editors.
