How to remove Access date from the references bibliography?

sedulam

Hi!
After inserting my references bibliography, all of my webpages references have an "Accessed" date, which I would like to remove. How can I do this automatically, i.e. not manually removing the date from each of the references?

This is how it is at the moment:
[8] ‘Apache Cassandra’. [Online]. Available: http://cassandra.apache.org/. [Accessed: 01-Sep-2017].

This is how I would like it to be:
[8] ‘Apache Cassandra’. [Online]. Available: http://cassandra.apache.org/.

Thanks in advance.

What style are you using?
Is this a mistake generally in the guidelines or you just want that for yourself?

I ended up by deleting the accessed value from the library. Not ideal, but it worked. :-)

Can you answer damnation's question? Is this an error in the style according to the journal guidelines you are following? What style are you using? If its an error, we can fix that.

I was using IEEE (with URL). I'm not following any journal guidelines. This is a MSc project report but the bibliography guidelines are more or less loose. I just didn't show the website accessed date.

In that case, you can edit the .csl file for the style. Open the file in a text editor, find the line that looks something like this:
<date variable="accessed">

And delete it and any of its sub nodes, etc.

Then change the style name and ID at the top of the file, save, and install in Zotero.
