Are you available to do custom work on this plugin? I noticed it has not been updated for 2 years and is considered abandoned by industry standards. I have installed the plugin on the latest version of WP and it seems to work fine but web designers will hesitate to use it because it has been 2 years since the last update.

Hi Dave,

Installed plugin on WordPress 5.4.2. The PubMed query shortcode yields a blank page.

Thanks,

David

Hi,

Tried to install this plugin. It works a bit, bot not completely on my live server.
The issue is that it does not always find the results I find when I run my query directly on Pubmed.

Because of this reason, I tried to install it at a test server at home so I could have a better look at the logfiles etc., but I found some issues:

At the top of the page:
Warning: array_merge(): Expected parameter 2 to be an array, bool given in D:\wamp64\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wpbmb-entrez\includes\wbe-helpers.php on line 248

At the bottom of the page:

Fatal error: Declaration of CMB2_Type_Checkbox::render() must be compatible with CMB2_Type_Text::render($args = Array) in D:\wamp64\www\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\wpbmb-entrez\includes\cmb2\includes\types\CMB2_Type_Checkbox.php on line 0

Hi, I tried to activate this plugin, but I was warned that plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

It was said that
Fatal error: Can’t use function return value in write context in /home/yassinel/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpbmb-entrez/admin/wbe-settings-helpers.php on line 689

Please help me figure out why this happened.

Very interested in this plugin. However, upon activating I received 3 instances of the following warning (with a 4th appearing upon refreshing) at the top of wordpress backend.

Warning: array_merge(): Argument #2 is not an array in /home/[omitted]/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wpbmb-entrez/includes/wbe-helpers.php on line 248

In addition the warning was printed on the front of the site which could only be removed by actually deleting the plugin.

Running latest WordPress 4.9.8

Hi, I have tried to use this plugin on my website https://www.agfisicos.com, but I have some difficulties, since I can not get results with some shortcodes, like for example: [wpbmb retmax = 400 highlights = “pain, Transcutaneous, TENS” highlights_type = (all fields) AND “electric” [All Fields] AND “nerve” [All Fields] AND “stimulation” (“transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation” “[All Fields]) OR” transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation “[All Fields] OR” tens “[All Fields]) AND (” pain “[MeSH Terms] OR” pain “[All Fields] [wpbmb retmax = 400 highlights = “pain, Transcutaneous, TENS” highlights_type = “background” tags = “pain, TENS”] “transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation” AND (last 30 days) [/ wpbmb].
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance

wpbmb-entrez/admin/wbe-settings-helpers.php

Line 689 creates incompatibility with PHP < 5.5. Pre PHP 5.5, empty() only accepts variables. This is an extremely simple fix.

Before:

if ( ! empty( preg_replace( '/\s+/', '', $computed_value ) ) ) {
    ...
}

After:

$computed_value_clean = preg_replace( '/\s+/', '', $computed_value );
if ( ! empty( $computed_value_clean ) ) {
    ...
}

There’s probably a better fix for this as I’m sure someone with more PHP expertise will point out.

Hi,
I’m trying to show the 3 most recent papers from different members of a group on a single web page, and everything works except the abstract. The 3 abstract from the first search are the ones showing for every other query.
i.e. First search is Xavier Roucou[Author], shows his three most recent abstracts. Second search is Alexandre Maréchal[author], but it still shows the three most recent abstracts from Xavier Roucou.
The rest is ok (links to paper, titles, authors).
Please advise.
Thanks

I would love to see the date of the article to show, or at least have an option to show, in the templates.

Really a great job, btw. This saved me a TON of time1

Great plugin! Congratulations. However, I have not been able to get references listed by date. Any suggestions?
