All places of publication missing from footnotes and bibliography in all styles

JohnDuffy · February 16, 2026

Hi, I've just noticed a bug, that all places of publication are missing from all my footnotes and bibliography in SBL and Chicago in Word, as well as by copying and pasting using Copy Citation from the Edit menu.

I've restarted Zotero a few times, closed and opened the Word doc, changed document preferences, deleted the styles, downloaded and then added them again, but no change.

Any thoughts?

This isn’t a bug; the authorities who set these styles have decided to remove the place of publication.

Chicago still technically allows the place of publication to appear as an option, even if they don’t recommend it; look up one of the classic variants on the style repository:

Ah, thanks for clarifying that. I wasn't aware. Sorry for the bother.
