Nothing works

    Hi,

    I’ve tried many things from the docs but can’t seem to get anything to work. I have two .bib files updloaded into wp-content/papercite-data/bib but when I try using the shortcodes in a post or a page I get blank posts. For instance, in one post I have:

    [bibtex file=test.bib]

    Here is one reference [bibcite key=Thackeray2013] and

    This will create an empty post.

    I have also tried entering this in a post:

    [bibtex file=https://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/gregorydsaxton]

    Still nothing. I am new to WordPress but have gotten teachpress to work. Am I missing something basic here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Is this simply a compatibility issue? I just noticed that papercite is only compatible up to 3.6.

    No, it should work. If you could enable wordpress debug, and send me the messages, it would be helpful to resolve this problem – see how to use WP_DEBUG in

    For the wordpress version, I have a website running with the latest version of WordPress and there is no problem with this plugin.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply. Based on the debugging, I think there may have been some compatibility issues or some other problem with other plugins I had installed. I deactivated all of them and then reactivated papercite–that fixed the problem. When I then also reactivated the plugin teachpress, it returned this error:

    Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class PARSECREATORS in /home/gdsaxton/webapps/cybermetrics/wp-content/plugins/papercite/lib/PARSECREATORS.php on line 23

    I’m also sometimes getting this error:

    Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/gdsaxton/webapps/cybermetrics/wp-includes/post-template.php on line 29

    So, it is working but I likely have some other problems with the site. I am just testing out a variety of different plugins and themes now in preparation for going live. I guess some things aren’t playing nicely together? In any case, I appreciate your looking at it. Thanks.

    OK, thanks – I guess the problem is that teachpress is using the OSBib parser too. I opened a bug report on github so you can track this bug:

    Version 0.5.7 should fix this

    I upgraded and it seems to work now. There is still a problem with the citeulike code. When I put this in a post:

    [bibtex file=https://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/gregorydsaxton]

    I get this error message:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/gdsaxton/webapps/cybermetrics/wp-content/plugins/papercite/papercite.php on line 822

    Any ideas? Thanks again for your help with this. Much appreciated.

    Hi, it would help if again you set the debug mode on and copy & paste the messages. Please also report to github so I can track easily the bugs:

    No problem. Here are all the messages that show up when I include the citeulike bib in a post: [bibtex file=https://www.citeulike.org/bibtex/user/gregorydsaxton]
