Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date) Formatting Problems
Hello,
Zotero seems to be using a different format than the guidelines on the Chicago Manual of Style website. These are examples of the author-date guidelines I have been following before using Zotero: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html
For a book I had hoped to get this:
Ahmed, Leila. 1992. Women and Gender in Islam: Historical Roots of a Modern Debate. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press.
Instead Zotero gave me this:
Ahmed, Leila. Women and Gender in Islam: Historical Roots of a Modern Debate. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1992.
For a journal article I had hoped to get this:
Behiery, Valerie. 2013. “Bans on Muslim Facial Veiling in Europe and Canada: A Cultural History of Vision Perspective.” Social Identities: Journal for the Study of Race, Nation and Culture 19(6): 775-793.
http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13504630.2013.842676.
Instead I got this:
Behiery, Valerie. “Bans on Muslim Facial Veiling in Europe and Canada: A Cultural History of Vision Perspective.” Social Identities 19, no. 6 (November 2013): 775–93. doi:10.1080/13504630.2013.842676.
Will I have to manually make all the formatting changes? Or is there something I can do to fix the order of the dates, how journal issues/volumes appear in the citation?

This is an old discussion that has not been active in a long time. Before commenting here, you should strongly consider starting a new discussion instead. If you think the content of this discussion is still relevant, you can link to it from your new discussion.
Note that the page you link to also distinguishes between the two different formats.
Thank you for responding so quickly!
I tried to change the citation style to the full note version, but the order of the date still has not changed. I am using the plugin for Word. I went to the menu and selected "Set Document Preferences" and then changed the style. Is there another step that I may have missed? I tried to close Word and reopen the document, but it did not make a difference.
When using the Word add-on, you should notice that the in-text citations aren't in author date format.
There is just something wrong with your settings in the word processor; Zotero will definitely produce correctly formatted references, automatically, with that style.
Possibly you selected Chicago Author-Date in Zotero Preferences/Export, but not in the word processor "Document Preferences" settings?
