New entries from Zotero are not syncing #229

Open linnoa opened 1 year ago

linnoa commented 1 year ago

I am a new user of Obsidian and the Citations plugin. Whenever I add a new entry into Zotero, it shows up in the bib file I've linked Obsidian with, but not in Obsidian itself when I try to search for it (using the appropriate hotkeys). If I use the hotkey to refresh my citation database, nothing happens (I don't see any popup that the plugin is processing new entries). I've moved both my vault and Zotero to my local drive so it's not a problem of syncing processes clashing. As far as I know, my Zotero settings are also correct, I've set the bib file to 'keep updated'. I've tried editing the bib file itself to see whether that produces anything but the new entry does not show up in the citations plugin in Obsidian. Even if I restart Obsidian or my computer the new entry is not appearing. What am I doing wrong??

Platform

Edit: I found out that, sometimes, when I add a new entry it does sync, but others just refuse to no matter what I do. There is no clear difference between entries that do sync and entries that don't.
