Detecting blog posts

Calorion · April 12, 2026

Related to https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/78776/zotero-extension-not-detecting-microdata/p1, I find myself often saving posts from acoup.blog—but they’re never categorized as blog posts. Is there a way I could fix this? How does blog detection work?

Thanks, fixed. Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within a few minutes, or you can update translators manually from the Advanced pane of the Zotero settings.

(See https://github.com/zotero/translators/commit/3b641a657bd8c7b6076d8b51862020273fa69fd8 if you're curious about the way we detect blog posts - for WordPress specifically, we just have a hardcoded check for a few elements.)

This doesn’t seem to be working. I force-updated the translators and restarted both Safari and Zotero, but https://acoup.blog/2022/06/03/collections-total-generalship-commanding-pre-modern-armies-part-ii-commands/, at least, still imports as Web Page.

Please provide a Connector Debug ID where you reload the page and save.

Unfortunately, `Zotero Preferences…` is doing nothing for me in Safari 17.6.

For an unknown reason, the right-click, “Zotero Preferences…” with 5.0.199 from Zotero does't work, unless you enable the connector bundled with Zotero Beta, then switch back. Here is a Debug ID from the blog mentioned above: D1486925459

It’s working now, thanks.

However, Tumblr posts import as web pages, not blog posts, so there’s another one for you.
