 * Such a cool and useful plugin!
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Zotpress Version 7.3.4
   
       My shortcodes:
   
       BOOKS
   
       [zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="book,bookSection" sortby="author" order="asc"]
   
       ARTICLES
   
       [zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="journalArticle,conferencePaper" sortby="author" order="asc"
   
       DISSERTATIONS
   
       [zotpress userid="12463704" itemtype="thesis" sortby="author" order="asc"]
   
       For some reason, this is firing off some kind of loop:
   
       https://wphost-dev.mse.jhu.edu/caribbeanmaps/bibliography/
   
       Not sure how to stop it!
   
       Advice appreciated,
   
       Mark
       ```

 * Anyone run into this weird looping phenomenon?

 * Currently on version 7.3.6, we did see a glitch with one-time duplicates in version
   7.3.5, but Katie fixed that.
 * When I try using more than one shortcode on a page I get errors. I don’t see 
   anything in the documentation saying explicitly to use only one shortcode instance
   per page, but that might be it.

 * Thanks!
 * Is there a way to have separate bibliographic sections on a single page (Books,
   Articles, Dissertations) without using separate shortcodes?

 * Spent a while fiddling with versions of the shortcodes and I haven’t had much
   success with filtering by itemtype; the Help page text implies you can only pick
   one itemtype, but the code itself implies it will parse multiple types. Nonetheless,
   not working for me, and when I do get two sets of shortcode running on the page
   one of them tends to run wild like yours and crash the page.

 * Darn! Would be nice if this could be fixed.
 * Not sure what to do. If I had to I could split this up into separate pages per
   Item Type. Not ideal, though.
 * Thinking…

 * Yes, this is a long-standing issue … Zotpress doesn’t yet support multiple item
   types in one shortcode. You have to have separate shortcodes.

 * Thanks, that worked! I broke each of my multiple shortcodes out into individual
   Item Types, and now the whole bibliography renders on a since screen.
