Zotero Attachments
by bsievers·1 year ago

It is a great pity that not all attachments (files, images, notes, etc.) stored in Zotero entries are displayed as (DOWNLOAD). They cannot be downloaded completely and correctly when using the zotpressLib function of Zotpress.
It is also a pity that nobody takes the time to respond to error messages.

Great plugin!
by vincentlemonde·2 years ago

A very nice plugin, very useful and very effective.

Well written and developed, constantly updated. A little attention is required in the configuration but it is sufficient to carefully read the many contributions in the support area.

I would give six stars if I could 🙂

Excellent plugin with strong community
by timtom·2 years ago

After many years copying and pasting bibliographies from Zotero and manually correcting them, I’ve finally given Zotpress a try and honestly I don’t know what took me so long! It works great and is quite powerful.

There are still a few things I’d like the plugin to do, e.g.

  • Set default display options instead of having to specify them in every shortcode (e.g. have htmlwrap=true or sortby=author be the default)
  • Have the option to wrap bibliography items in list elements instead of div, which may be better for accessibility
  • Support custom bibliography styles

But even without all that, it’s already a great plugin. Many thanks for developing it!

Superb

NIce but bug with Wp 5.4.16
by ccotal·4 years ago·1 reply

I like a lot this nice plugin, but I face a major issue : I cannot post anything when the plugin is activated, because it generate an error message each time I try to create a new block : ‘this block encountered en issue and cannot be displayed’
So I have to desactivate it, then modify, then reactivate entering the settings…
