Hiding display of URL information in bibliographies

Richardcallas
I have downloaded citations from online sources into Zotero and the URL information is displayed in the bibliography I produced using these references.

I'm using the PLOS one citation style and would prefer to exclude URL data from my bibliography. Is this possible without manually deleting the information from each reference item individually?

    this depends on
    a) the citation style - it's certainly possible to modify any citation style to not include URLs
    and
    b) whether items have page ranges - by default, Zotero will not include URLs for items with page ranges. If it does, uncheck the include URLs box in the Cite--> styles tab of the Zotero preferences.

    Adam,

    Thanks for your input. I'm new to Zotero and did not know citation styles could be modified by users. I've downloaded many references that contain URL information that is automatically displayed when I choose the PLOS one citation style. Can you suggest how I might modify that style to exclude URL data from my bibliography?

    General instructions are here:

    You want to be modifying the "Public Library of Science" style (PLOS One is just a link to that, so it won't have anything to modify) and the only thing you need to do is to delete
