__NOTOC__
The WordPress plugin '''ZotPress''' allows you to connect your Zotero.org account and library to your WordPress site. Once connected you can use shortcode to dynamically create bibliographies or in-text citations using entries directly from your Zotero library.

===Getting Started===
This tutorial requires that you already have an account at Zotero.org and understand the basics of working with Zotero. The following steps work best if you have 2 tabs open in your browser - one open to your WordPress site and another to Zotero.org.

===Setting up Zotero with an API/Feed===
#In another browser tab login into zotero.org and go to the [https://www.zotero.org/settings/keys Settings > Feeds/API page]
# Click '''Create new private key'''
#Give it a description (like ZotPress) so you know what it's being used for
#Accept the defaults and click '''Save Key'''
[[File:Zotero-save-key.png| thumb|right|200px|Enter a description and save your key]]

===Setting up ZotPress in WordPress===
#Login into your WordPress site
#Activate the ZotPress plugin from your Dashboard > Plugins
#Navigate to your ZotPress settings in your Dashboard and click '''Next''' to connect your Zotero Account to your WordPress site
#ZotPress needs to connect to your Zotero account and is going to need to know your:
#* Account Type = User or Group
#* API User ID or Group User ID
#** to locate your Group User ID [[File:Group-id.png|thumb|right|300px|Find your Group's user ID]]
#** ''from zotero.org - go to your '''group settings''' to view group ID in URL''
#* A private key ''(the one you created at zotero.org)''
#* A nickname for the account to make it easy to reference i.e., "Zotpress"
#Click the '''Validate''' button when you're set
#Choose your default options and click next

===Adding citations to site's posts/pages===
ZotPress uses a set of shortcodes with parameters to call the plugin and pull filtered content from your Zotero account. To learn how to use these shortcodes:
#Navigate to ZotPress in your Dashboard and go to the '''Help''' section and review the shortcodes

====Create a bibliography of a collection in WordPress====
#Navigate to and Edit your Bibliography page
#Add the shortcode that will display the Zotero references for a site-wide bibliography this could be organized by "Collection", "Tag" or perhaps your entire Zotero account (userid or nickname)
#*To create a bibliography by collection use <nowiki>[zotpress collection=""]</nowiki> and enter the Collection ID between the quotes
#* To find the Collection ID, in Zotero.org navigate to your Group's Library and select the Collection/folder
#* Copy the ID from the URL bar in your browser
