 * Hi,
 * I am working on a wordpress site using the Mendeley plug-in. The API key and 
   the collection IDs have all been worked out. I then made a folder of papers that
   I wanted to display on the website.
 * When I enter [mendeley type=”folders” id=”######” ] unfortunately all I get is
   some raw code or sometimes nothing at all. Is there a graphic interface? Do I
   need to create one myself? I think I may have missed a step.
 * Many Thanks!

 * When you are using this shortcode on one of your WordPress pages, you should 
   either get a formatted list of the paper references (in HTML) or an error message(
   also in HTML/ASCII).
 * If you provide me with the URL of your page, I can have a quick look.

 * Yes I can. The current problem is that you have switched “debugging” on. Go to
   the configuration page of the plugin and select “no” in the section “Debug” and
   press “Update settings” – Then the output should go away and the normal output
   should be visible.

 * Unfortunately when I turn off “Debug” I get a blank page. Its confusing because
   the code that is on the page, when I am using the “Debug” setting, doesn’t seem
   to suggest that anything is wrong.

 * Okay. I see. There seems to be an error in producing the output – since the plugin
   does not only generate no output, but terminate the generation of the page.
 * Can you please share the document (reference) / the folder that is causing the
   problem with me, so I can try replicate the problem on my system?

 * I am using a folder with a collection ID # 14222433. At this point there is only
   one article in that folder. The title of the article is “Globus Online: Accelerating
   and Democratizing Science through Cloud-Based Services”.
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Since folders are private I cannot access your folder 14222433. But I did generate
   an own folder an put the document “Globus Online” in it. Then I used [mendeley
   type=”folders” id=”14786033″] on one of my pages – and everything worked – i.
   e. the reference was displayed.
 * So, the problem must be specific to your WordPress/PHP setup. Perhaps some version
   issues? Can you please check the PHP and Web-Server error logs if calling the
   plugin / displaying the page with the mendeley shortcode does generate any error
   messages?
