Wall Street Journal seems not to be working (again)

jongiff · December 14, 2014

The Wall Street Journal seems again not to be sensing metadata correctly and is downloading articles as web pages. There is a web page icon in the search bar, rather than an article icon.

Here is an example:

Harder, Amy. “Protests Slow Pipeline Projects Across U.S., Canada.” WSJ. Accessed December 11, 2014. http://www.wsj.com/articles/protests-slow-pipeline-projects-across-u-s-canada-1418173235.

I am using Firefox 34.05 on a Mac running OS X 10.10.1 and logged in as a subscriber to the Wall Street Journal website.

Thanks.

fixed, same update instructions as always (the changed their default URL)

This still doesn't seem to be working for me. I've manually updated Zotero, but it is still showing version 4.0.24.1 dated 12/2/14.

I removed all my wsj.com cookies as well.

Please advise if I am supposed to update something else.

Many thanks.

You'd need to update the translators (update now in the general pane of the preferences) not Zotero.

Wall St. Journal articles are now saving as web pages rather than newspaper articles for me. I just took the leap to Zotero 5 and the connector to Firefox seems to be working in other respects.

Thanks for Zotero.

Setup: Mac OS 10.12.6; Firefox 54.0.1; Zotero 5.0.88

does that include the article linked above, i.e. http://www.wsj.com/articles/protests-slow-pipeline-projects-across-u-s-canada-1418173235 ?
If not, what's a sample URL?

jongiff · August 8, 2017

the one you sent worked correctly.

Here's one that didn't work for me. Also, the pages are loading extraordinarily slowly for me -- 2 minutes or more (the one you sent and the one below). I'm on a fast connection and not experiencing any latency elsewhere. So it could be related. A problem with my setup or something.

Thank you.

Thanks -- we'll look at adding support for article_email URLs. Note that import of the article should work using https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-race-across-the-water-1502144179 (click the link icon at the left of the article to get the regular link).
