General ⇒ Zotero in-text citation errors and missing text

[FionaG]

Hello! I am having two major problems with the pdf output of my PhD thesis which has been formatted using LaTex.

The first is with in-text citations. I use the APA7 referencing system and have linked LaTex with Zotero. There is a consistent error with my in-sentence references [i.e. Research by Author (date) shows that LaTex should be better than Word.], which are showing up as ordinary in text citations, with the author's name and date within brackets [i.e. Research shows that LaTex should be better than Word (Author, year)]. This effects the sentence structure and readability of the work. I am also often finding that citations are missing the closing bracket.

The second problem is that there are just large chunks of text missing, like multiple paragraphs and I can't understand why!

I am absolutely not an expert on this, so if anyone can help that would be amazing!
