Did you enable "toggle" mode in the bibliography settings sidebar? You must do that in every new post now. That change was made when the plugin updated to support the gutenberg editor.

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Hi Derek! Thanks for the quick reply. Do you mean the pin icon? I enabled it, but it just makes the sidebar sticky for the time that I'm in the post editor. Or perhaps you mean something else?

dsifford commented 4 years ago

Yep, sorry I meant something a little different.

Assuming you have the latest version of the plugin installed and you're working on a post in the new editor, do the following...

  1. Click into the references block so it's highlighted.
  2. Click the little gear icon in the top right of the screen to show the block settings sidebar.
  3. Click "enable toggle" in the settings.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Derek! Hm, I don't have the latest version. I'm using version 4.13.3 When I update to the latest version, however, the reference sidebar disappears from my backend. Although when I looks at the source code the toolkit should be there and my browser seems to find it via ctrl+s as well (veeeeery strange). I have no idea why it's invisible. Maybe it's a compatibility issue?

That said, in the older version I don't see any gear icon. When was it implemented?

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Checked version 5.2.0 as well and the invisibility issue is the same /-:

dsifford commented 4 years ago

The latest version is only compatible with the new editor. ☹️

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

The Gutenberg editor?

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

But even there I can't see the reference sidebar...

dsifford commented 4 years ago

The reference sidebar is only available when a bibliography is selected. It's the sidebar that shows when the sidebar with the gear icon is active.

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Hm, I don't know if it's me. But I can neither select my bibliography nor is their an inactive or active sidebar. Check the screenshot. https://ibb.co/0ZnNRfS It simply looks like the plugin has disappeared...

dsifford commented 4 years ago

Looks like you're using the old editor. I dropped support for the classic editor a few versions ago.

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Ah, ok, you mean instead of the block editor? Yes, that seems to be the issue then. Well I can't really switch but that's a problem that you can't solve then. Anyway, thanks for letting me know where the problem lies! Cheers

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Last question: does that mean that when I switch to Block Posts that I have to rework all older posts w/r/t the toggle function?

dsifford commented 4 years ago

Nope. If you use the "convert to blocks" functionality, it'll set the proper options smartly based on your historic settings.

Moritz-Pfeifer commented 4 years ago

Yes, got it! Thanks for the clarifications!
