Zotpress in loop

    Such a cool and useful plugin!

    Zotpress Version 7.3.4

My shortcodes:

BOOKS

[zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="book,bookSection" sortby="author" order="asc"]

ARTICLES

[zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="journalArticle,conferencePaper" sortby="author" order="asc"

DISSERTATIONS

[zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="thesis" sortby="author" order="asc"]

For some reason, this is firing off some kind of loop:

Not sure how to stop it!

Advice appreciated,

Mark

    Anyone run into this weird looping phenomenon?

    Currently on version 7.3.6, we did see a glitch with one-time duplicates in version 7.3.5, but Katie fixed that.

    When I try using more than one shortcode on a page I get errors. I don’t see anything in the documentation saying explicitly to use only one shortcode instance per page, but that might be it.

    Thanks!

    Is there a way to have separate bibliographic sections on a single page (Books, Articles, Dissertations) without using separate shortcodes?

    Spent a while fiddling with versions of the shortcodes and I haven’t had much success with filtering by itemtype; the Help page text implies you can only pick one itemtype, but the code itself implies it will parse multiple types. Nonetheless, not working for me, and when I do get two sets of shortcode running on the page one of them tends to run wild like yours and crash the page.

    Darn! Would be nice if this could be fixed.

    Not sure what to do. If I had to I could split this up into separate pages per Item Type. Not ideal, though.

    Thinking…

    Yes, this is a long-standing issue … Zotpress doesn’t yet support multiple item types in one shortcode. You have to have separate shortcodes.

    Thanks, that worked! I broke each of my multiple shortcodes out into individual Item Types, and now the whole bibliography renders on a since screen.
