Saved calendar's page sources are all off and cannot be turned on

#What you're seeing

On a saved calendar, every page source is switched off, and you can't switch any of them back on.


#Why it happens

Page sources decide which pages a calendar pulls events from, so they only apply when at least one page-based event type is on. If In-calendar Events is the only event type switched on, every page toggle is forced off.


#What to do

Turn on a page-based event type first, then your page sources.

  1. Open the calendar's settings and go to the Events tab.

  2. Switch on Native page dates, Capable Events, or both.

  3. Select Save.

Calendar settings Events tab with toggles for In calendar Events, Native page dates and Capable Events
On the Events tab, switch on Native page dates or Capable Events. In-calendar Events on its own keeps page sources locked off.

The page sources on the Pages tab can now be switched on again.

Calendar settings Pages tab with toggles for Recently viewed, Pages where mentioned, Specific pages and Pages from search
The page sources live at the top of the Pages tab. Once a page-based event type is on, these toggles work again.

#Settings involved

Setting

Where

What it does

In-calendar Events

Calendar settings → Events

Shows events people create directly in the calendar. On its own, it doesn't use page sources, so every page toggle stays off.

Native page dates

Calendar settings → Events

Shows events from date macros on pages. Turn it on to use page sources.

Capable Events

Calendar settings → Events

Shows events from Capable event macros on pages. Turn it on to use page sources.

Page sources

Calendar settings → Pages

Recently viewed, Pages where mentioned, Specific pages and Pages from search. Together they choose which pages the calendar takes events from.
