# Fix a Confluence calendar that is not loading

If a Confluence calendar is not loading, read the message on it. **An error occurred while fetching events** and **Loading took longer than expected** both offer a retry button, so try that first. If a note says a calendar did not load, select **Retry**; a calendar you can no longer access stays hidden until you remove it as a source.

---

## Before you start

* Anyone who can see the calendar can retry.

---

## Steps

1. Select **Try again** or **Retry loading events** on the message.
2. If the bar at the bottom says a calendar did not load, select **Retry** beside it. Capable already backs off and retries on its own for a short while.
3. On the Calendar page, open **Display & export options** and choose **Refresh**. On a page, reload the browser tab.
4. Switch to **Month** or **Week** view. Year view asks for far more events at once.
5. If one calendar never loads, you may have lost access to it. Ask for access to its space, or remove it in **Manage calendars** on My calendar.

## If it does not work

* **Sign in to view this calendar** means the events are only visible to signed-in readers.
* A notice instead of the calendar for unlicensed or signed-out people is expected. See [Unlicensed or signed-out visitor sees a notice](https://help.gocapable.com/calendar/unlicensed-or-signed-out-visitor-lands-on-the-calendar-page-and-sees-a-notice-instead-of-the-product.html).
* If the error comes back on every retry, contact Capable support with the page link and the time it happened.
