Zotero 7/64 bit for Windows: how do I install plug-ins?

berntl · 2025-07-30T07:24:48+00:00

I just updated Zotero from v6 to v7, and from 32 bit to 64 bit on Windows.

1. How do I install plug-ins? I depend on Better BibTeX (I have it on my laptop, which uses Zotero v7, 32 bit).

2. My word processor (LyX) complains that the generated bibtex file uses an outdated: "Errors: Class scrbook Error: undefined old font command \bf'.". How do I get rid of this error? Would I need to switch to biblatex?

Correction: I have Zotero 7/64 bit on my Windows laptop. But there, I have managed to install the Better BibTeX plug-in. Don't recall how I did it, though.

I don't know who adds \bf though. I don't think that is BBT.

Hm. Maybe it is a residual from when I used JabRef?

I don't think it's the stock Zotero exporter either. BBT will pass it through if you have used script tags, but that is an advanced feature few people actually use.
