Generally, this is how you make it work. (adapt as necessary)
<names variable="author" delimiter=", ">
<name form="short" and="symbol" delimiter=", " initialize-with=". "/>
<et-al font-style="italic"/>
</names>
APA will likely have subsitutes set for the author. The et-al setting needs to come directly behind the name part.
Check your code with: https://validator.citationstyles.org/
The change has to be made in
<macro name="author-intext">
, line 215 :<names variable="composer" delimiter=", ">
<name form="short" and="symbol" delimiter=", " initialize-with=". "/>
<et-al font-style="italic"/>
<substitute>
...
</names>
I do not copy-paste the whole element as it is quite long. I hope this might help you.
