    Hi @lukasjarz !

    Thank you for the detailed report on the issues!
    Unfortunately, I’m too busy to work on them right now, but I’ll definitely try to improve the plugin with your suggestions as soon as I have time to work on it!

    Hi @lukasjarz !

    Unfortunately, there’s no functionality to highlight authors at the moment. But I like the idea and will try to implement it in the future!

    Hi @spacemanspiff86 !

    I’ve tested the plugin with all the other plugins you’ve listed above and found no incompatibilities. Unfortunately, the only possible reason of publications not showing up I can think of right now is that you’re missing inputs in plugin settings -> custom publication lists options.
    Please, try, if you haven’t before, to fill the fields with default input:
    [authors] [title] ([year]) [doi] [arxiv] [filelink] [supplementary]
    Don’t forget to save your settings after this and check if it solved your problem on site’s pages.

    Hi again @spacemanspiff86 !

    I’ve just tested the plugin with Elementor (latest version) installed and it seem to work fine, even with the pages created in Elementor editor.
    I do as well use WordPress 5.7.1 right now. So, the issue is neither WP version or Elementor plugin.
    Your plugin settings are correctly set up too.

    Can you provide me the full list of plugins you have right now, so I’ll check for possible conflicts with every one of them?

    Thank you for your patience! I hope we’ll resolve the issue soon!

    Hi @spacemanspiff86 ! Sorry for the late reply!

    What exactly is shown on your pages? Does the shortcode stay there or does it disappear?

    In the first case, you’ve most likely disabled the shortcode replacement functionality in the settings. Make sure you have checkboxes checked for “Replace plugin shortcode” and “Clear tag if no match has been found” options. The latter option is needed to detect if the replacement functionally works properly.

    In the second case, go to plugin’s “Manage Works” page and make sure you have a list of publications to display and the publications you need have “Paper is public” option checked.

    If nothing above helps, please, let me know, I’ll try to investigate your issue further.

    Hi @davexps !

    I’ve just tested compatibility with Visual Composer and it seems there is indeed a conflict with it. It’s a pretty common issue with third party page builders that shortcodes fail to work. Unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do to fix this.
    You can still use the default WordPress page editor to create a page to display publications and it will work fine this way.

    Hi @notion9 !

    Thank you for your response!

    1. If you’re asking about some dynamic sort feature on the website page, unfortunately, there is no such thing implemented in the plugin. All the publication sorting happens before posting the list on the site. That way you can only choose some options to determine the original order of the items in the list, but it can’t be changed later by the website user.
    2. The “link” in the example above is a placeholder. Sorry, I didn’t make it clear. All the variables use these brackets – []. So you have to change this placeholder to the URL you want. For example,
    <a href="https://www.remarpro.com">[title]</a> will create a link to the WordPress site.
    <a href="[url]">[title]</a> will create a link to specific URL set for that publication.
    In case, there was no URLs during .bib or DOI import, or if you added publication manually, you will have to fill the URL field manually.
    3. If you use the “file” field to manually upload the file to your site, you can use it as an URL to the file (It seems I misunderstood you previously and provided the wrong example). Change the download link part in customization list to look like this:
    <a href="../downloads/[filelink]">Download</a>
    If you changed the download folder in the settings, you’ll have to change it as well.

    I hope this will help you. In any case, feel free to ask anything!

    Hi @notion9 !

    Thank you for the documentation suggestion, I’ll work on it on the future updates!
    As for your publication list customization, go to “Settings”->”Books and Papers” page and scroll to “Custom Publication Lists” section. There you can change how the list elements are displayed using html tags and its’ attributes.
    For your example above you can use the following:
    <a href="link">[title]</a> - <a href="link">[authors]</a> - [year] - <a href="[url]">Download</a>
    To sort the list you can use “Sort Order” setting in the “Custom Publication Lists” section and sort option in the shortcode:
    [publications subj=all sort=title] for example.
    Unfortunately, there’s no search option, though you can filter the output og publication list using other options like “auth”,”subj”,”year”,”tag”, etc.

    If there is anything else I can help with, feel free to ask.

    Hi @m4yer !

    Thank you for the bug report!
    It should be fixed in the newest update now!

    Plugin Author frier

    (@frier)

    I’ve added support for some new attributes in the newest update. Can you update and try styling your link the following way?
    <a href="https://linktosomething.com" style="color:white;background-color:blue;">Some text</a>

    If this won’t help either I’ll look for other solutions.

    Hi @m4yer !

    Thank you for the suggestion! I’ve added these attributes in the newest update.

    (@frier)

    Say you want to have a list with blue background.
    1. You can add a custom characteristic named “blue” with the value “background-color:blue;”.
    Then you have to apply this style to every publication you need: go to “Manage Works” plugin page, click “Modify” and check the box near “blue” field.
    2. If you go to appearance -> customize page, and select “Additional CSS”, there will be empty (by default) field where you can enter any css code. To change the style of every list element you can enter this:

    li{
    background-color:blue;
    }

    3. Also, if I recall correctly, you can manually add style attribute to <div> tag. To do so, go to plugin settings page and change the publication list field to look like this:
    <div style="background-color:blue;"><i>[authors]</i> <b>[title]</b> ([year]){{<a href="[url]">URL</a>}}</div>

    Hope this will help! If not, I’ll try to provide better instructions.

    Hi @andrewhillphd !

    Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try to implement this in the future updates, though unfortunately, I can’t provide you with any estimates how much time it’ll take.

    Hi @wuksage !

    Right now there are two ways to style your publication lists with css:
    1. You can go to plugin settings page and then find custom characteristic section. There you can enter the name of characteristic and its style. After that, save this settings and go to “manage works” page, open the specific publication and enable it.
    However, if you need to style every list item, it will require you to open every publication and enable the characteristic.
    2. You can go to WordPress appearance page, then choose “Customize” option. It will open the window where you can personalize your site. Navigate to “Additional CSS” section. There you can enter the CSS for list elements. Although in this case it applies the style changes to the whole site, and it may change something you don’t want to.

    If it won’t resolve your issue, I’ll try to come up with something more convenient in the future updates.

    Hi @digitben !

    The thing is that due to security reasons every user input must be filtered, so it won’t accidentally break anything on the backend. That same filter removes most of the hmtl tags by default and you have to manually enter the exclusions.
    Well, anyway, I’ve added the <br> and <p> tags now, in the newest update.
    If there are some other tags that you want to use, feel free to ask and I’ll add them too.

    Thank you for the question!
