Zotrpress attribute urlwrap not working with all references in bibliography

    Zotpress is amazing! I use Zotero to manage c. 2,500 references and Zotpress 6.1 to selectively present these in references lists and bibliographies on my website, here.

    I have encountered the following problem with Zotpress. When creating a Bibliography using shortcode such as the following:

    [zotpress collection=”CQS8JT3N” tag=”history” sortby=”author” order=”asc”]

    Individual entries appear as expected. If they have URLs then these are included with each of those references. But, I would prefer to wrap the titles with their URLs. However, if I try to do so, using the following shortcode:

    [zotpress collection=”CQS8JT3N” tag=”history” sortby=”author” order=”asc”]

    only some of the references with URLs are wrapped; the remainder are presented without either links or URLs. I have observed that this is particularly the case where there are multiple references by a single author.

    The URLs in question are properly formed, valid and up-to-date. I thought at first that Zotpress might not recognise URLs leading to PDFs or to directories rather than to HTML pages, but I have satisfied myself that this is not the case. I can see no pattern to this behaviour.

    I would appreciate advise on how to rectify this issue.

    Whoops! The second shortcode I gave should read:

    [zotpress collection=”CQS8JT3N” tag=”history” sortby=”author” order=”asc” urlwrap=”title”]

    I think this is fixed in 6.1.2, but please re-open and contact me if not.

    Unfortunately, there are still some problems with urlwrap. Briefly:

    A. All entries with URLs end with two full-stops instead of one.

    B. Many entries which really do have URLs which are not urlwrapped and which vanish from view.

    On inspection, the failed urlwraps seem to fall into six classes:

    1. URLS ending .htm

    2. URLs ending .pdf

    3. URLs pointing to directories rather than directly to files, that is those ending in /

    4. URLs which take a directive, eg.

    5. URLS for entries for which the Zotero Item Type is coded as Web Page

    6. Mysteries in which I can discern no pattern.

    I really appreciate you efforts to resolve this and can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you dealing with all the various cases which must be dealt with.

    I will email you directly in more detail and with a few examples.
