Import Library never completes

I am having the same problem. I am also a new Zotpress user. I think we are using 3.5.1 wordpress and 5.0.6 Zotpress. I have tried connecting to a variety of groups and personal libraries and nothing ever imports. It sounds like a similar problem to https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/version503-cannot-import-any-items-in-wordpress-35 but with newer versions.

Thanks for your help

Did you all every resolve your import issues? I’m having the same problem. Import never finishes on my test library with 2 items in it. I have a LOT of security features enabled for WP, including a firewall, and HTTPS. Any chance these could be interfering?

Well, I did the sensible thing and disabled most of my security. Now the import is chugging along ??

I’m in the process of re-coding for compatibility. Sorry about the troubles. Stay tuned!

Hi Winslow,

Glad you managed to fix it. Katie was brilliant and helped us get it working. We had to change a line of code in the PHP. Our developer also suggested a change which removes the need for any external libraries. I think Katie is looking at this and making an upgrade.

Hope you managed to get it working.

I am also new to Zotpress. I have a group library I want to import. I started the import. It never ends and it looks like nothing is imported.

I wonder if I have the correct ID for the group. I click on “Group Settings” here:

https://www.zotero.org/groups/from_some_psychologists

(The link “Group Settings” is only shown when I am logged in.)

The URL is of the form https://www.zotero.org/groups/ID/settings where ID is the number I then enter into Zotpress.

Is “ID” above the number I should use?

Thanks to Mark’s developer I’ve now implemented a WP-based (and hopefully more compatible) way of importing. I think this should settle the issues everyone’s been encountering, but if not, please re-open this thread.

Hi Katie, I just updated the Zotpress-plugin and tried again. It looks like it still does not import anything.

Hi,

I just downloaded Zotpress but unfortunately it doesn’t work for me either — the import completes, but nothing shows up in my library.

Best,
Nidhi

I am having the same problem. I thought it was because of the size of my library — but I see now that others have this issue. What can we do?

Actually my mistake was not making my library public. Once I did that, it worked like a charm.

@nidhi.r.kalra: Since it is a public library maybe you could give me the URL so I can test importing that library instead of my own (that does not work)? ??

Try this: 1348997

In Zotero, go into settings->privacy and check “publish entire library”
