A plugin that interfaces with the NCBI Entrez databases for listing/updating publications.
As of April 2026, WPBMB Entrez is a WordPress RCSB plugin with 60 active installations and a 2.5/5 rating from 2 reviews. It has been downloaded 2.6K+ times in total. Requires WordPress false+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2017. Last updated 6 years ago — may have compatibility concerns.
This plugin allows you to insert references to articles in NCBI Entrez databases (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) using a shortcode. It supports any query or search syntax you would use on the main NCBI site. For single sites with simple requirements the options on the settings pages may be enough. For more advanced requirements, such as, multiple unique shortcodes, parameter overrides and custom templates, shortcodes can be defined using the builder or dynamically by just inserting a shortcode in a post or page.
The plugin has a built in caching mechanism with cache life settings (if desired) to reduce page load times. Search terms that are dynamic (for example Author queries) will update automatically on the next page load if not in cache or if the cache for that shortcode is expired.
