BibLaTeX APA Style – Showing Page Numbers for Inproceedings

apa-stylebiblatex

I am running biblatex + biber. When the bibliography is printed in APA style, @inproceeding entries do not have any page numbers attached. This does not happen for other styles such as MLA.

Here is the output:

Here is my minimum working example:

sample.tex

\listfiles
\documentclass[12pt]{report}

\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=apa,
backref=false,
sortcites=true,
sorting=nyt,
citestyle=authoryear,
mincitenames=1,
maxcitenames=2
]{biblatex}
\usepackage[american]{babel}

\addbibresource{sample.bib}

\begin{document}
\section{Hello}
\label{sec:hello}

\parencite{test}

\printbibliography
\end{document}

sample.bib

@inproceedings{test,
  author = {Test Author},
  title = {Test title},
  pages = {108--115},
  booktitle = {Test Conference Proceedings},
  year = 2016,
}

And here are the results of \listfiles:

Best Answer

Your MWE uses MLA, not APA. After I changed it, page numbers are displayed as expected. However, I'm using biblatex-apa v9.14 and you are using v9.5. Try updating the package.
