Upgrade StorageWord Plugin & database
I have a MacBook air and using Zotero with word. I am having two issues:
- Plugin is not able to generate citations OR bibliographies anymore (it works with new documents but it is not working with documents it use to work with before and I tried copy pasting the text, which already has previously added citations in text, but it is not working) this is a document I used track change option with but this setting is not on anymore.
- The bibliography that was generated doesn't follow the APA style I set and sometimes the citations are generated with different styles within the same document. (the bibliography also includes "retrieved on .... " but I set it so it does not include this information in the settings.

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.
we'd need more precise details on this:
1. "is not able to generate citations... anymore" -- what exactly happens when you try? (also, if you're getting an error, we'd want an error report ID as per the above link)
2. "doesn't follow the APA style" - do you have examples for this?
3. ..."but I set it so it does not include this information" - not sure which setting you're referring to here? There's not setting in Zotero to disable accessed dates.
1. I just figured out how to fix this, I went into the Zotero plugin "set document preferences" and checked 'automatically update citations' it seems this was unchecked while i was editing the file.
2. I aslo set the vancouver style and it reset all the citations and bibliography to that style so having that automatic update unchecked may have caused some of the inconsistencies.
3. I cant remember where that setting was but even with the current vancouver style I am still seeing in some fo the references from the bibliography
Like in this citation for example
" Bronfenbrenner U, Morris PA. The Bioecological Model of Human Development. In: Handbook of Child Psychology [Internet]. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2007 [cited 2015 Dec 12]. Available from: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470147658.chpsy0114/abstract "
in the APA style it looks like this :
"Bronfenbrenner, Urie, & Morris, P. A. (2007). The Bioecological Model of Human Development. In Handbook of Child Psychology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Retrieved from http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470147658.chpsy0114/abstract"
Is there anyway of stopping it from adding this information in the generated bibliography ?
" [cited 2015 Dec 12]. Available from: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470147658.chpsy0114/abstract "
and / or
"Retrieved from http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9780470147658.chpsy0114/abstract"
--I thought about going into each record and changing it, but that is a lot of work, I guess I might just have to do that. I got the reference from Zotero online but it is not only an online resource so I prefer it not to appear that way. What do you mean by changing the citation style? Changing from APA or vancouver style or can I change the settings within a predefined style?
DOI: 10.1002/9780470147658.chpsy0114Zotero will then include the DOI, rather than the URL, in the bibliography, in accordance with APA style
