I'm using MiKTeX 2.9 and TeXworks. When I compile the beamer document with footnote references it only returns the text that's in the braces for the \footnote command in the footnote and not an actual reference.
Minimal working example.
\documentclass{beamer}
%THEME
\usetheme{default}
\usecolortheme{beaver}
%BIBTEX
\usepackage[style=verbose,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@article{methods,
author= "A.G. Schwartz and J.H. Lipner and J.D. Pasteris and G.M. Genin and S. Thomopoulos",
title = "Muscle loading is necessary for the formation of a functional tendon enthesis",
journal = "Bone",
year = "2013",
volume = "55",
number = "1",
pages = "44-51",
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
%DOCUMENT
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Recap}
\begin{itemize}
\item This is a recap slide\footcite{methods}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
Gives me this:

I even tried to copy and paste the example in this answer and it gives me same type of error: just prints "Taflove2000" in the footnote.
It's got to be something to do with the way I'm compiling it. I've tried it with miktex-pdftex.exe with arguments
$synctexoption
--shell-escape
-undump=pdflatex
$fullname
which is what I usually use. But I've also tried it with texify.exe and arguments
--pdf
--tex-option=$synctexoption
$fullname
What should I be using?
