常见问题:
Which fields are supported per citation?
Author, Title, Year, and URL.
What is the difference between a custom ID and a UUID?
When you write [cite id="who-2024"], CiteKit uses that string as the citation's permanent identifier. When you write [cite] with no ID, CiteKit auto-assigns a UUID (e.g. a3f8c1d2-04be-4e7a-9b23-f1cc8820de45) on first save. Both work identically — custom IDs are simply easier to recognise and reuse across posts.
Can the same citation ID be used in multiple posts?
Yes. Two posts using [cite id="who-2024"] both point to the same reference record. Editing the metadata in either post's CiteBox updates the shared record everywhere.
What tooltip superscript symbols can I use?
Any short string works: standard symbols such as †, *, ‡, §, ¶, or a word like "note". Set it with [tooltip style="‡"]...[/tooltip]. If no style is specified, † is used by default.
Is this a replacement for Zotero or EndNote?
No. CiteKit is optimised for WordPress publishing workflows, not full academic reference management.
Does this work with the block editor?
Yes. CiteKit provides a Bibliography block and two inline RichText formats (Citation and Tooltip) that appear as toolbar buttons on paragraphs, headings, list items, and quote blocks. Shortcodes continue to work in both the classic editor and the block editor.
Does CiteKit support custom post types?
Posts and pages are supported in the free version. Custom post type support is available in CiteKit Pro.
Does the Citation block support searching my reference library?
The block sidebar lets you enter a citation ID and reference details directly. A searchable reference picker that connects to your full library is available in CiteKit Pro.
