Hy everyone!

Im currently using biblatex with style=authoryear. When i quote with \parencite it looks quite similar than apa. But not exactly. There is still a coma between the author and the year i need to get rid of: (Hemingway, 1980, 45) --> (Hemingway 1980, 45). I tried style=apa but i get Errors. What am I doing wrong? Thanks a lot! 

\documentclass[11pt, oneside]{report}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}

\DeclareLanguageMapping{ngerman}{ngerman-apa}

\usepackage{acronym}         

\usepackage{amssymb} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{chngcntr}  
\usepackage[style=apa]{biblatex} 
\usepackage{nameref}

\DeclareLanguageMapping{ngerman}{ngerman-apa}
\addbibresource{refrences3.bib}

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

\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamelast}[1]{\textsc{#1}}   

\begin{document}




Text text text text \parencite[S. 265]{Diepen}

\newpage \defbibheading{bibliography}{% 
\chapter*{Literaturverzeichnis}} 


\printbibliography \setlength{\bibitemsep}{\baselineskip}

\end{document}

Some of the errors i get when i change style=apa:

\iffieldundef {endyear}{...
l.745 \setlength
                {\bibitemsep}{\baselineskip}
./Introduction.tex:745: Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \mkbibdateapalongextra 
                                  {year}{month}{day}

Package biblatex Warning: Bibliography string 'retrieved' undefined
(biblatex)                at entry 'Byrum' on input line 744.

    You should learn to make better (complete) examples. The apa-style needs a language mapping: \DeclareLanguageMapping{ngerman}{ngerman-apa}, – Ulrike Fischer Nov 03 '15 at 11:57
  • Ok Sorry :) i still get the errors though – Jaka11 Nov 03 '15 at 12:18
  • Your example doesn't use the code I mentioned. It also doesn't use apa style. So how do you know that it still gives the error? And your error mentions line 745, so I doubt very much that you actually compiled the example you show. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 03 '15 at 12:21
  • I did. Im gonna edit it the way the errors are showing. The "text" part is just a little longer in my document. line 745 is \printbibliography – Jaka11 Nov 03 '15 at 12:29

    Why did you add the command \DeclareLanguageMapping before loading biblatex? Didn't you see that this gives an ! Undefined control sequence. error straightaway? – Ulrike Fischer Nov 03 '15 at 12:33
  • I didnt know that thanks. The errors are now gone but the comma still remains between author and year. – Jaka11 Nov 03 '15 at 12:46
  • Well you are explicitly defining this way. What do you think "\nameyeardelim" could mean? \renewcommand*{\nameyeardelim}{\addspace}. – Ulrike Fischer Nov 03 '15 at 13:22
  • The question has evolved quite a bit and is very unclear. The error message is clearly a duplicate of problems using apa6e with biblatex-apa and since that is the only thing I can understand about this question and the OP seems to have solved all problems, I'm voting to close as a duplicate of sai question. – moewe Nov 05 '15 at 08:00
