Missing comma between author and year in the reference of the maintext

Question

I'm new to LaTeX and am using the Harvard-style template on overleaf. Following is my file:


\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{a4paper,scale=0.8}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[style=authoryear-ibid,backend=biber]{biblatex}
\let\cite\parencite

\addbibresource{Ref.bib}% Syntax for version >= 1.2

\title{}
...
\printbibliography
\end{document}

My problem is when I use \cite{{pauling1960, repp2004}}, I got (Pauling 1960; Repp et al. 2004) rather than (Pauling, 1960; Repp et al., 2004). The comma is missing.

What's the problem?

Does this answer your question? How to add a comma between author and year — ddbrierton, May 14 '20 at 11:12
I recommend not to say \let\cite\parencite. Use \autocite instead, then you can easily switch between citation styles on the fly (via the option autocite). — moewe, May 14 '20 at 14:13

This is a duplicate of:

How to add a comma between author and year

and

Insert comma between author and year for authoryear citations

Anyway, the answer is, for older versions of biblatex use:

\renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addcomma\space}

and for recent versions use:

\DeclareDelimFormat{nameyeardelim}{\addcomma\space}

Do not use both. They should be inserted in your preamble.
