    Sorry if this is common sense or has been answered before but I can’t figure it out or find a similar thread.

    I’m trying to filter a bibliography by author and have two authors which share the same last name. I can’t get zotpress to separate them. I’m using chicago-author-date style.

    I’ve tried author=
    ‘J B Sankey’
    ‘JB Sankey’
    ‘Joel Sankey’

    and authors=
    ‘Sankey, J B’
    ‘Sankey, JB’
    ‘Sankey, Joel’

    I’ve tried changing inclusive to no with all of these. Either it shows all the entries with that last name or nothing at all. I’m not sure what else I should try?

    Not sure if this is possible yet — but please contact me with your Zotero API userid and key and I can test the code on my end. https://katieseaborn.com/contact

    Hi Katie!
    I’m getting the exact same problem: people with the same last name, so I try to filter by first AND last name, but it doesn’t work:

    [zotpress collection="7T5V2XFZ" author="Ferreira" style="apa" sort="ASC inclusive="no" title="yes"]

    Actually, if I try JUST the first name nothing is returned. It feels like it only looks for LAST names.
    Is there anything we are doing wrong, or is it the plug in that is yet unable to do it?

    Thanks in advance, Eduardo

    This should be fixed in 5.5.1 — please let me know if things are still not quite right!

    Hi Katie,
    It’s doing pretty much the same thing.
    If ther’s anytinhg I can do to help – including to pose as a guinea pig – please let me know.
    Best, Eduardo
