Zotero connector issue when fetching PDF from IOP (Institute of Physics)

I recently found an issue when I try to fetch PDF from IOP using Zotero connector in Safari.

On the page of the IOP articles, Zotero connector reads "Save to Zotero (Institute of Physics)", and after I click the button, the title of the article pops up correctly with "IOP Full Text PDF" below. But after a while, it changes to "Open-access PDF", and the fetched PDF file is different from that I open directly on that page. When I try to use Zotero connector on the PDF page in Safari, only "pdf" pops up with no real PDF name, and "an error occurred while saving this item", and no PDF is fetched at all.

I'm sure that I have access to the articles using the campus networks, and Zotero connector works correctly when fetching other journal articles (e.g. APS) with a snapshot saved to Zotero. What's wrong with Zotero connector and IOP article pages?

Example article: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/ac8007
Zotero 6.0.15, Zotero connector 5.0.98
  • Works for me (and campus access isn't required for the linked article, which is Open Access). Do you have another browser installed and could test with Chrome or Firefox?
  • I checked the Zotero connector in Chrome which worked well, and that in Safari also worked well today. I'm not clear what caused the issue before, but the post seems to be closed now. Thanks!
