Suppressing 'retrieved' metadata and url
I'm using Zotpress to get my (quite long) bibliography onto a WordPress wiki. It all works beautifully, but I have one issue that I cannot figure out. Right now I'm using the author-date citation style. For citation of newspaper articles I sometimes get this:
Houses Which Must Come Down. (1880, January 20). New York Times, p. 2. New York, N.Y., United States. Retrieved from http://search.proquest.com.offcampus.lib.washington.edu/hnpnewyorktimes/docview/93829150/abstract/36C16BB8B6CC4553PQ/19?accountid=xxxx
And sometimes this:
Disorderly Policemen.: Two Patrolmen Shooting at Each Other in a Station-House. (1882, September 19). New York Times, p. 8. New York, N.Y., United States.
I really do not want all this all the 'retrieved from' stuff in the first example for a lot of reasons, not least being the fact that my account id number is included. I would like to just strip such metadata from every entry.
So my question: do I have to do this manually, go to each record and delete the url? Because I've got over three hundred citations with this issue, and that would take a major time investment.
Thanks for whatever direction you can provide.
