Connector gets 33 authors for a WA Post article with one author

edited January 10, 2025
If I save this Washington Post article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/01/09/republicans-influencers-elections-democrats-trump-campaign/

Then the resulting Zotero item has 33 authors. Only the first one is correct.

Report ID: 1966676990

Here's the RIS for the zotero item:

  • Fixed, thanks. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.
  • Thanks for the fix. However, after I clicked the "reset translator" button on the advanced pane, all those authors are still saved. I couldn't find an "update" translators setting, but "reset" seems like it must be the one.

    This is on Windows, and on the Brave browser.
  • Sorry, yes, Reset Translators.

    Could you provide a Connector Debug ID (not a Report ID) for a save that still has this issue?
  • And try "Update now" in the Advanced pane of the Zotero desktop settings.
  • Confirming that this now works. Thanks for the fix!
