    Sorry for my primitive question: How exactly do I use this plugin? That is, how do I cite items from my Mendeley group and make it appear as full reference on the bottom of my post?

    The plugin, it seems, is fully working with the authentication process being done successfully. But I fail to find the part in the docs that actually tell me how to use the plugin.

    Please help.

    The plugin does not support your use case (generate reference list from citations) but does only support including lists of references from groups in a post or page. How to do this can be found in the README.

    Thanks for the answer. You are probably referring to

    [mendeley type=”folders” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx” style=”cover,link”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” sortby=”xxx” sortbyorder=”xxx” style=”short”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx” filter=”author=Michael Koch”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx” filter=”author=Michael Koch;type=journal”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx” filter=”type=book_section”]
    [mendeley type=”groups” id=”xxx” groupby=”xxx” csl=”https://DOMAINNAME/csl/custom_style.csl” style=”cover,link”]

    – the attribute “type” can be set to “folders” or “groups” or “own”
    – the attribute “groupby” is optional; possible values currently are: “authors”, “year”
    – the attribute “sortby” is optional; possible values currently are: “authors”, “year”
    – the attributes “sortbyorder” and “groupbyorder” can have the values “asc” and “desc”
    – sorting on the sort key is done before grouping on the group key if both are provided
    – in “filter” one or more equal matches can be filtered for; if more than one filter rule is specified, than documents are displayed only when all filter rules match
    – possible attribute names to filter for are: type, title, year, author, editor, publisher, tag, keyword, abstract (when filtering for tag or keyword, a substring search is performed, so “blog” also matches “microblog”)
    – possible values for attribute type: [‘journal’ or ‘book’ or ‘generic’ or ‘book_section’ or ‘conference_proceedings’ or ‘working_paper’ or ‘report’ or ‘web_page’ or ‘thesis’ or ‘magazine_article’ or ‘statute’ or ‘patent’ or ‘newspaper_article’ or ‘computer_program’ or ‘hearing’ or ‘television_broadcast’ or ‘encyclopedia_article’ or ‘case’ or ‘film’ or ‘bill’]
    – the attribute “style” controlls the output – you can specify several values separated by commas – possible values are: cover (add cover images), link (add links to full texts), short (use a short version – i.e. for widgets – not possible if csl formatting is used)
    – the attribute “csl” is optional; the value must contain a valid URL with a .csl file

    May I be so humble to suggest to explain the parameter “id”? It seems to be most important one but it is not explained at all.

    BTW: Since when to answerers mark a question as resolved? That’s not the kindest of styles, I think.

    The attribute “id” is the Mendeley identifier of the group or folder – You can find this in Mendeley (Web or desktp app) – or use the function “Request Collect
    ion Ids” in the backend of the plugin. Values for the id look like “1f0508c0-8256-3ba7-b924-485e720245d5”.
