Switched all the event types off, but the calendar still shows everything

#What you are seeing

You switched every event type off, expecting an empty calendar. Instead, every date is still there.


#Why it happens

Switching every event type off doesn't mean "show nothing". With no event types selected, the calendar doesn't filter at all, so it shows dates from every source. That's intended, and the Calendar macro says so right under its Event types.

Calendar macro Events settings with Event types chips for Capable Event macros, Confluence Date macros and In Calendar Events
Read the hint under the Event types chips. With none selected, every source of dates is drawn.

#What to do

Leave at least one event type selected. To show only one kind of date, select exactly that one.


#Settings involved

Calendar settings dialog on the Events tab, with switches for In calendar Events, Native page dates and Capable Events, all on
The Events tab has one switch per event type. Keep at least one of them on.
