Zotpress has worked fine but now messed up with listing the wrong references

    Zotpress has worked fine for many years but now it malfunctions. I use the following code for in text numbering: [zotpressInText item=”{58FRF82X}” format=”%num%” brackets=”yes”] and for the reference list at the end of the webb page I use: [zotpressInTextBib style=”vancouver” sort=”ASC”].

    On this page: https://infovoice.se/sample-size-estimation/ …I get spinning wheels in text and a strange reference list at the end that is numbered 1 and contains other references than the ones I want to cite. The same problem is seen here: https://infovoice.se/litteraturoversikt/. On this page https://infovoice.se/urvalsstrategier-och-datainsamling/ …there is no spinning wheel but all references are numbered 1 and the references in the reference list is not the ones I want to cite.

    Am I using an old invalid format for the intext code or reference list code? Any other suggestion?

    I read the support thread “InTextBib Shortcode Bug” where Katie suggested to clear the cache. I did and it solved my problem. Now it works flawless again! Gr8!

    It seems many other users may have the same problem. Katie may I suggest that you (or someone else that want to help Katie) introduce a function that automatically clears the cache on a regular basis. Perhaps as a new setting option where the user can chose to clear the cache; daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and never. Perhaps quarterly should be default but of course easy to change. I assume that the number of visitors to a site may influence how often you should clear the cache. It should be done as rarely as possible but still often enough to avoid problems.

    I have another website (https://science-network.tv/) and discovered I had exactly the same problem. Clearing the cache for Zotpress fixed the problem. I also remember I have had this problem some years ago. Hence, a funtion that automatically clears the Zotpress cache seems important.

    Thanks, all. I’ll add an update notification in 7.3.15 (and retroactively for 7.3.14).
