 * Hi there!
 * I’ve just tried the plugin but I cannot seem to be able to make it work. I put
   this basic shortcode on a new page but nothings appears. The generated HTML seems
   to not have any auto-generated code when I look at it with Firebug:
 * [bibtex file=http://www.citeulike.org/user/myUserName]
 * Could it be that it is an issue with the latest WordPress 4.0? If not, might 
   some other plugin interfere? I doubt I have anything more that could interfere,
   apart from the Marketplace plugin.
 * Thank you for your attention, I’d really love to be able to use the plugin, looks
   great! 🙂

 * I tested papercite with WP 4.0, and I have no problem with it. Are you sure you
   activate the plugin?

 * Yes, it is!
 * Do you think it could be due to using a Child theme? I’m using Hueman Theme, 
   I’ve done a quick search and some users reported that shortcodes do not work 
   for them. The author states that they should.
 * I also tried disabling a plugin called ‘Insert HTML Snippet’ that allows to create
   shortcodes for some common HTML content, but made no difference.
 * Any ideas?

 * No troubles using the Hueman theme – just tested it. It must be some plugin incompatibility
   I suppose, the best would be deactivate them all and then reactivate them one
   by one…

 * Hey, I finally managed to make it work!
 * I first tried to upload a .bib file and use it locally and it worked so the plugin
   must be working ok.
 * So I suspected I must be doing something wrong with the URL and I was, I didn’t
   realize I had to put the /bibtex/ in between, like this:
 * [bibtex file=http://www.citeulike.org/**bibtex**/user/myUserName]
 * Thank your for your support and excuse all the fuss 🙂
