Unless I’m mistaken, latest Zotpress versions still do not include the APA fix I had submitted to GitHub. So I tried creating a patch instead but I can’t seem to work out how to submit it to the svn repository. The WP contribution guidelines talk about opening a trac ticket for this, but I don’t have enough privileges to open one (at least on plugins.trac…).

@kseaborn I’m really grateful for the work you’re putting into Zotpress and would love to do this little fix myself, if only I knew how… Really sorry if I’m missing something obvious.

Here’s my patch:
