What shortcodes are you using?
My short code is:
[zotpress collection=”FRUCS82S” style=”mla” sortby=”default” sort=”ASC” notes=”yes” notes=”yes” abstracts=”yes”]
It’s odd, if this particular group library is the default it shows, if I change the default it is no longer listing the entries.
Also, side note: I’m now also observing that if I install a new collection and manually import it with the default of mla that the folder appears, but not items. However, if I change the default to apa and import again all the items appear. (I’ve not tried it with other styles).

You have to add the “user” attribute to select a particular group library or Zotpress doesn’t know which account the collection ID belongs to. 🙂
I’m not sure about the APA vs. MLA issue … I’ll test on my end, but I’m certain I haven’t come across this error myself.

I tried importing with MLA as the default and everything worked fine. If you’d like, feel free to contact me privately and I can take a look at your setup.
Thanks. Okay. To clarify, though I include the collection code, I need to also include the userid and/or the nickname to properly identify the library source of the items?
I’ll make time in the next few days to contact you regarding the import issue.
In the meantime, question – does the plugin automatically sync or download periodically and if so on what schedule. I found myself having to sync or download to view recent updates.

Yes, that’s correct.
I think I may have found the issue: http://www.zotero.org/styles?q=mla The style is now called by its full name: “modern-language-association”. Does that solve it?
No, there’s no autoupdate, but I’m planning on re-implementing this soon.
With the import/sync issue, I was toggling between apa and mla on the Zotpress Options page. I’m not sure if I can change mla to its full name. Is there something that I can do or is it a coding issue for the next update?
Good to hear about the autoupdate. I’m adding new items at a pretty rapid pace and I am managing three libraries with many many collections. I’ve lovin’ Zotpress. It makes my entries much more accessible for my students. They would enjoy Zotero too, but I might be asking too much to have them click another link . . .

Good point! You should be able to add the “modern-language-association” version using the add option at the bottom of the dropdown (I’m fixing the default for the next version).
Glad Zotpress is otherwise working out great for you. 🙂
I have been having a bit of trouble with the citation style working with the Zotpress coding.
I’ve tried APA, MLA, and some of the Chicago styles, but when I use the exact same coding (except for style), I get different results in regards to links.
In the end, I want a hyperlink with Chicago, but I found only one of the Zotero citation styles actually returns hyperlinks. Wouldn’t Zotpress install a hyperlink regardless of citation style if the link was yes?
For reference my Zotpress test page can be found at http://patrickkelsey.com/scad/zotpress-test/ I have in the header the code being used to pull the bibliography.
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Zotpress can only provide hyperlinks when the style itself provides a link, hence the inconsistency.
