Get rid of "Visited on [date]" in references

[Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin]

I would like to modify the biblio style and remove the "Visited on [date]" entries.

However when I add

\bibliographystyle{unsrt}

my project doesn't compile.

Any idea?

Maybe this helps:

You can of course also remove the corresponding fields from you .bib-file by hand.

[Rémi Delaporte-Mathurin]

As I have around 200 references, removing the fields by hand is not an option I'm afraid 😄

I will try what you suggested

Adding

\usepackage{kaobiblio}
\addbibresource{bibfile.bib} % Bibliography file
\AtEveryBibitem{
    \clearfield{urlyear}
    \clearfield{urldate}
    \clearfield{urlmonth}
}

Didn't change anything unfortunately

[Denis Bitouzé]

Maybe:

\DeclareSourcemap{
  \maps[datatype=bibtex]{
    \map[overwrite=true]{
      \step[fieldset=urldate, null]
    }
  }
}

but, without any Minimal Complete Example, not easy to test.

@dbitouze thanks for pointing this out. I thought that was just a silly mistake on my side.

Here's a MWE:

main.tex

\documentclass{kaobook}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{kaobiblio}
\usepackage{kaotheorems}
\usepackage{kaorefs}

\addbibresource{bibfile.bib}


\RenewDocumentCommand{\formatmargincitation}{m}{
	\parencite{#1} \citeauthor*{#1} (\citeyear{#1})\\
}

\begin{document}


\title{Bug Report}
\author{Author}
\date{\today}

\frontmatter
\maketitle
\mainmatter
\setchapterstyle{kao}

\chapter{First Chapter}
\blindtext
\sidecite{ciraolo_first_2019}

\defbibnote{bibnote}{Here are the references in citation order.\par\bigskip} % Prepend this text to the bibliography
\printbibliography[heading=bibintoc, title=Bibliography, prenote=bibnote] % Add the bibliography heading to the ToC, set the title of the bibliography and output the bibliography note

\end{document}

This fixed the issue!
