Unable to link files with PMID upload
Specific articles don't have a DOI identifier and have the PMID number. When I add the PMID using the identifier tab, the file is uploaded, but they are not linked, which causes a problem when cited. How can I fix this issue? I'm using Mac with the latest version.

2. I copy the PMID number and past it in the identifier box of Zotero-
3. The article shows up in the list of all articles but is unlinked
4. When I cite an unlinked article on word, it doesn't appear in the correct citation format.
How do I fix it?

But then 3. -- I don't know what "unlinked" refers to? If you add an item by identifier, that's simply a Zotero item that you can cite like any other item? Do you just mean that there's not attached PDF?
And could you give an example for what you mean by not in the correct citation format?
1. When you click on a linked file, it opens up immediately in a separate window. This is when I use Zotero from the webpage and not the application. Unlinked files don't open up anywhere, and PDF is not attached.
2. Citations are in the correct format now (after reinstallation), but the first problem is still there. I think I can fix it following the steps in the link provided.
Thanks a lot for reverting.
Thanks!
