Done! Thanks again for your help :)

Yes, I used to sync Zotero years ago. My ISP's upload speed isn't great, so I shifted from online backups via Zotero for Firefox to just backing up my data directory to an external drive. I have edited the prefs file in Firefox directory and now Z…
-
I am amazed how a fresh installation of Zotero on a new computer, with a freshly installed Win10 knows that it has to look in E: drive for the data folder.
-
I reinstalled Zotero, went to the profile directory as instructed in the link, and deleted the prefs file. I got the same error splash screen. Side note: In the future, if I want to move my Zotero data to a new computer, what should I do instead …
-
I tried looking for prefs.js using Everything App. I found a few files with this name. None of the file paths were associated with the Zotero Profile directory. I deleted one from Appdata for Zotero, and now Zotero won't even start.

Thank you for your response. This profile has all my research, and this error is making me sweat. Yes, the E drive on my last computer had the profile directory. On this new installation, I had no chance of directing Zotero to the profile director…

Oh, that was simple! Thanks so much for your prompt response.

Thankyou so much. I really appreciate it. I am sorry I didn't provide all of the required details in my request. I didn't really know that you guys have specific requirements of information until bwiernik kindly shared the github link. Please acce…

Thanks for clearing that up. Here are the formatted references: Campbell, JL, & Pedersen, OK (2007) The varieties of capitalism and hybrid success. Comparative Political Studies, 40(3), 307–332. https://doi.org/10.1177/0010414006286542 Mares, …

Thanks for your prompt response. I tried editing the style from the link you shared but I didn't really get how to do this on my own. I do agree it is very similar to the APA style. Would it be possible that anyone from the Zotero team with the tec…

Thank you so much :)

Thanks for the quick response Adam ! It worked. Is there a way of automatically renaming existing files too as per this new format?
-
I am using Zotero 5.0.34 and still facing this issue. Any solution will be much appreciated ! Regards

I am using 16.0.4639 on windows 10
-
Thanks for your prompt response ! I found the reference to your comment in the APA manual too. pg. 176 "If a reference list includes publications by two or more primary authors with the same surname, include the first author's initials in all text …

The bug has resurfaced. Please review this debug ID. D3936300229 Regards

The issue returned yesterday. I again tried clearing cache and restarting my laptop but it didn't work. But when I started logging to submit a debug report, suddenly the bug went away ! So I guess that's the solution for the time being. Threaten Zot…

Agreed. Maybe our spit balling gives the developers some idea about the problem to resolve the bugs.

@HThole As per my humble knowledge, FF only installs the latest update, and not the ones you have missed. Plus it gives a popup message to restart Firefox once the updated has been downloaded and is ready to install. Besides, I was using Z connect…
-
@HThole I did see a "Check Database Integrity" option in Advanced tab in preferences. Haven't tried it though. My issue got resolved automatically due to some unknown reason after a whole week of trying various solutions. I do have Firefox installe…
-
Thank you for your responses. I ran the debug logger and left it alone for about two minutes. The problem went away due to some reason. I thought it must be temporary like before but I have restarted my laptop some 5-7 times since yesterday and res…

The problem persists in new/ blank files. It was working fine with the latest version of Z4. I will be submitting the debug ID shortly. It started to work all of a sudden and, correct me if i am wrong, I don't think the debug script submitted now wi…

Thank you for the quick response Its an 8000~ word document with around 50 references. I have tried waiting for the interface to load for over a minute at a time before clicking it again but it doesn't load. I have removed mendeley from my system, w…

I just checked the data and you were right. Emerald Harvard style solved my prob. Thanks for timely support !
-
Ok. So If I write McClelland in the text and do not include it in reference list, wouldn't that be considered as incomplete referencing as readers wont know the work i am referring to?
-
In the same style, other references do not include journal abbreviations. e.g.: Addison, J.T., 2005. The Determinants of Firm Performance: Unions, Works Councils, and Employee Involvement/High-Performance Work Practices. Scottish Journal of Politic…

@adamsmith I am using "Elsevier Harvard (With Title) style" Inserting the same citation in a new document still gives the same error. @DWL-SDCA Data under journal abbreviation field in my Zotero record is: ACAD MANAGE J ACAD MANAGE REV Yes, on …
-
Correcting the author names throughout the database solved this issue. Thanks !
-
I am also facing this issue. Zotero is not showing retrieved from information. e.g. the correct APA 6th citation for this article(as in GALE database) is Scotti, D., & Dresner, M. (2015). The impact of baggage fees on passenger demand on…

Another error just popped up before my sync was complete even a single time. HTTP 0 error from WebDAV server for GET request What is going on here? This is frustrating.
