APA 6th Style - Comma between author and year

AndyAlter
Dear Community,

I have to use the APA 6th style but without a comma between the author and the year. Is it possible to make a change or somehow suppress it genrally?
It is requested to be like that: (author year, p. 000) respectively in German (Autor Jahr, S. 00)

Looking forward to your responses and help.

    You will have to edit the CSL style file.

    In the APA 6th file, in the "citation" section near the bottom, find the lines:
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <text macro="author-short"/>
    <text macro="issued-citation"/>
    <text macro="citation-locator"/>
    </group>

    and replace them with:
    <group delimiter=", ">
    <group delimiter=" ">
    <text macro="author-short"/>
    <text macro="issued-citation"/>
    </group>
    <text macro="citation-locator"/>
    </group>

    Then edit the style title and style ID at the top of the file, save, and install into Zotero. General style editing information here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/citation_styles/style_editing_step-by-step
