APA website titles not italicizing

Hi,

I’m struggling to get website titles to italicize when using the APA 6th CSL.

Can anyone let me know if they have the same problem, or am I missing something very obvious?

Thanks.
  • In APA style, website titles are not italicized (see section 7.11 in the publication manual and the 2012 APA guide to electron references). The CSL style is formatted correctly.

    I came here with a similar question, but looked into the sources @bwiernik suggested and confirmed. Here's a clearer explanation for whoever might have the same question:

    "As you can see in the table above, the titles of works that stand alone (such as a book or a report) are italicized in both the text and the reference list. In contrast, the titles of works that are part of a greater whole (such as an article, which is part of a journal, or a book chapter, which is part of a book) are not italicized in either place, and only in the text are they put inside quotation marks. If you are having difficulty determining whether something stands alone (such as a webpage that may or may not be part of a greater website), choose not to italicize."
