Can you try the following?
1. back up your data by going to bibliplug->export, and download all references in the ris format.
2. go to settings->bibliplug, set debug to true, save it.
3. on the same page, first delete all references, and then upgrade the schema.

If the above does not solve your problem, can you give me access to your database?

Thanks,

Hi Hugh,

Thanks for your comments.
1. This looks very interesting, but with limited time on my part, I don’t think this is something we can support in the foreseeable future.
2. Custom fields will probably be imported as notes, and will not be used in most of the display senarios.
3. I do not use CiTO in the shortcode at this moment, because the main senario when we developed this plugin was to show a reference list on project/user profile pages, thus not citations per se. What you mentioned is an interesting case, and I will keep it in mind as a new feature.
4. References/citations are not stored in post/page. They are stored in custom database tables. When migrating your data out of WP, the best practice is to use the export feature.

Cheers,

Hi Blair,

Your suggestion of using “edit_others_posts” makes sense. I will include the fix in the next release.

As of ref_cat url, it is not working because bibliplug references are not stored in the wordpress wp_posts table. Similarly, you cannot simply browse to a reference as a wp page/post because it is not stroed in wp_table. I can imagine there are workarounds to enable these features, but I have not had time to investigate it yet. If you have good ideas, or come across a solution, you can contact me via email.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback.

1) During Zotero synchronization, EBP does try to parse the date and it used the default php function date_parse. However, Zotero’s date field is really just a text field with no validation/restriction on the date format, so not all user input can be parsed by EBP. My suggestion would be either format your date field in zotero according to the format from the link above, or as what you have done, add year manually. If you know a better way to fix this issue, please let me know and I would be happy to add it to EBP.
2) I would need more information to help you. Can you go to the bibliplug setting page, set debug to true, and then sync it again? Please let me know what (error/warning) message you see.

Thanks again.
