The class cannot be used with biblatex because although it doesn't load the natbib package, it uses a macro from natbib (\bibsep). So this means that you need to use the apacite package with the [natbibapa] option to get APA 6 style:
\documentclass[a4paper,fleqn]{cas-dc}

With biblatex, \insertbiblabel only works with styles that have a labelled bibliography list (numeric and alphabetic styles; to see what it means to have a 'labelled' bibliography list compare the output of style=alphabetic, and style=authoryear, with \documentclass{article}). The authoryear style does not have a labelled bibliography list and it does not ...

For a one-off it is probably easiest to force the name order of the full name with curly braces and fill the shortauthor field with just the family name.

At the moment this looks like a Biber bug to me, so I reported the issue at https://github.com/plk/biber/issues/370.
In the following example

The problem is, you have to treat lists of things as names of lists, mostly. That means, elements must be separated by and, what you did not do. The following code gives the expected result and changes the separator for the last list element into "&" for better visualization:

It seems that \nolinkurl is redefined to \url by TeX4ht. In this case, \nolinkurl is used by Biblatex to print just part of DOI and \href outputs the full address. This results in double link, where the partial link that doesn't point anywhere is contained in the correct link. Unfortunately, the wrong link is picked by browser. To workaround this, you can ...

The command you are looking for is \ppspace, which by default is defined as (see biblatex.sty, l. 3734 in v3.16)

Thank you for everyone's comments! Long story short everyone was right. However, what wasn't working was the Makefile to execute the commands.

I suggest a number of changes:
Use the date=short option so you use the proper format for the date field (your current format is not valid).
Use an @online type, not @misc.
Use the url field, not the address field which will cause you problems if the URL has special characters.
Redefine the urlseen string rather than hard coding it in the urldate format.

It is probably easiest to inject code for an epigraph into the bibliography heading definition similar to what the epigraph documentation suggests for thebibliography in section 2.5.

This change of course means that the document is no longer APA style compliant. If you do not want APA style it is usually easier to use one of the generic author-year standard styles (style=authoryear,) as basis than to base your custom style on biblatex-apa or biblatex-apa6.
Just add \sort{\citeorder} in the right place to your current sorting template to ...

The exact location of your .bib files does not matter. Most sensible things that work in a 'normal' (non-subfiles) setup also work with subfiles, but you need to factor in the effect changes in working/compile directory have on relative paths.
You haven't shared a whole lot about your folder setup, so I will assume something that looks roughly like this

For Çabej I suggest you use an indexing tool that can deal with non-ASCII characters: xindy.
Load imakeidx with the xindy option and call xindy (via texindy) with the option -C utf8
texindy -C utf8 personenregister.idx
For van den Berg you can redefine \mkbibindexname to issue

I completely agree with your advisor that page numbers in citations are a good things. So unless there are very good reasons to remove them, I would not do that.

On the LaTeX (or rather biblatex) side \addbibresource{<filename>.bib} and \bibliography{<filename>} do very similar things and are implemented in terms of the same auxiliary macros, so there should be no difference whether you use

or
\bibliography{<filename>}
The former is preferred over the latter, ...

The error was cased by an old .fmt file in ~/Library/texmf/web2c that I had fashioned out of the document's preamble. That format used older versions of packages, including biblatex and babel.
As soon as I trashed that .fmt, the document compiled normally.
I remembered that now-obsolete format only after using the \NewBibliographyString fix from https://tex....

The styles of the biblatex-ext bundle have an option called citexref that allows for slightly shorter bibliography entries.

Before we start, a word of warning: If this style is for a submission of a paper to a journal or a publisher, biblatex might not be your best bet. Very often publishers have their own templates that come with a BibTeX style or at least with instructions how to generate the bibliography. Generally, publishers do not accept biblatex submissions.

The style from Biblatex style short name is just the biblatex standard style authortitle with two small adjustments: Name initials with giveninits (which was called firstinits a while ago) and different name order with \DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{given-family} (\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{first-last} in old biblatex versions).

I guess the idea is that the start of a new bib entry is sort of like the start of a sentence. Even a "von" is usually capitalised at the start of a sentence, so it is natural that the "von" would be capitalised here as well.
If you do not want this behaviour, you can tell biblatex not to treat the start of a bibliography entry like the ...

The field format that is used for those short citations is called citetitle, so I just used the same format you set for title also for citetitle, but you can change that as you wish.
We can disable the links biblatex-chicago produces for citations by disabling the macro \cmshyper. (Though I wouldn't do that, those links are really convenient.)

The Basque localisation was added to biblatex about three months ago (2020-11-10) and is included in v3.16 of biblatex (released 2020-12-31).

With a sourcemap you essentially manipulate your entry data just when it is read from the .bib file. This means that for all intents and purposes overwriting journaltitle with shortjournal with a sourcemap means that journaltitle now contains the contents of the shortjournal field and that the old field value cannot be recovered on the biblatex side.

ANSWER: After playing around in the document for a while, I found that the image did not convert from bitmap to a PNG correctly so after exporting the image as a PNG once more and then adding it into the document solved this problem.

Unfortunately, when \citesetup is used we cannot yet access the delimiter context to branch on the exact citation command we are in. A straightforward, but slightly more tedious solution is to use the wrapper command of \DeclareCiteCommand to wrap \parencite (which is what \autocite becomes here) not only in parentheses, but in tiny parentheses.
The original ...

date fields are a bit special in biblatex, since they are parsed during the Biber run and split up for biblatex into its date parts.
Apparently data model constraint verification happens at a very late stage where date parsing and splitting has already occurred, so you don't want to test for presence of the urldate field, you want to check for urlyear, ...

Here is a slightly different solution using name wrappers.
I figured that the idea is to have the whole author list (including possible "et al."s) in italics and to format the editor list normally.
biblatex-gost already defines a special name format called heading for the authors at the beginning of the entry. If we make use of the name wrapper, we ...

For this solution I will use the xpatch package but if you want you can do without it.
First of all, let's remove the square brackets:

Using \AtEveryBibitem does not work since in biblatex the \bibitems are loaded at the beginning of a document and not when a list of references is printed (e.g., \printbibliography).

Another way is to postprocess the label, for example if you use a bibliography that you cannot change.

You can add an XOR constraint to the datamodel, which means that exactly one of series or optseries needs to be present.

The simplest way to manually insert a line break in a field content in the bibliography is to write \\ into the .bib entry. Of course this is not a very sustainable solution, since .bib files are supposed to be re-usable and this is a very situation-dependent fix. In general I would advise against putting those kind of ad hoc fixes into the .bib file because ...

Update with your new requirements (not much needs to change).
It's not ideal, but probably the easiest way to do this is simply to construct the citations by hand. You can use a macro that deals with subsequent citations. The \paul@blx@trackentry@global macro allows me to manually add an entry to the list of seen entries (at global scope). This is needed ...

I don't think there is a good way to do that if you want to be able to cite entries in your document. biblatex really needs a unique number for each entry. Plus, if you just relabel entries in different bibliographies your readers wouldn't know what number refers to which entry.
There are ways to get independent and separate labelling for the same entry if ...
