APA Style in 7th Edition - First names written out in bibliography - Looking for help
Hey all,
for my masters thesis I need a modified version of the APA Stlye in 7th edition:
In the bibliography, the first names should be written out too, and not only the last names (middle name - if existing - in initials). Furthermore the entry types "website", "document" and "blog-post" should contain the date of access in square brackets after the URL like: https://forums.zotero.org/post/discussion [Zugriff am 21.11.2020]
Is this citation style already existing or can somebody help me programming it? (Sadly I'm not able to change it on my own in the citation-style editor.)
Big thanks in advance!

Are those the only two changes needed from the stock APA 7th edition? Should the style just be in German or also allow English?
Do you have a link to the style guide for your program? What university and program is it?
thanks for your response.
Okay, no problem wenn the middle name isn't initialized - most important is that the first name is written out.
The style should be in German.
I'm at Stuttgart Media University but we don't have official regulations there concerning the citation style. I have chosen APA for my master thesis and my Professor is fine with it, but wants the first names written out (and we need the date of access at Stuttgart Media University).
Would that work for you?
That's why this doesn't work out. A combination of the bibliography of the HdM Stuttgart citation style and the in-text citation of APA style would be perfect.
